Mums second day 21st Oct

Yes we took it fairly easy on mums second day, her first full day. She slept well, and more or less caught up with her sleep and got rid of the jet lag, almost anyway. After breakfast we went for a walk, it was fairly cool, although it warmed up later...anyway, called at neighbour's house, Rene in manila but chatted to Nilda, we then walked to matina palengke (market) via Paul and Yvonne's house and they made us a coffee, in spite of being on the point of going out, we delayed them, our timing was poor but we were made welcome. On to the market and bought our fruit and some snacks for later. A cooling fruit shake drink in the AC to cool down and Gina spotted us, my gym and flickr friend, (flygall) and she came and introduced herself....she had already seen mums photo on flickr and left a welcome comment, so, it was nice for mum to meet another friend.

Lunch at home, karen and Arnel came for lunch, Ann cooked coz Lizelle is away for a few days, their kids kit kat and keisha swam....we then snozzed for an hour, after lunch, it was getting hot...afternoon chats, then mum and i showered and went down to the local bar, very pleasant evening. I invited my dutch friend Roel, who joined us and phoned his friend Roenna to join us and there was live music on from the owner and a jam session band, Roenna joined the band for two numbers as she is a singer here in Davao...sorry no photos coz i forgot the camera, but we are going out again with roel and hearing roenna sing again on thursday, so, will take camera then. Also joined at times by owner Bogs, an interesting chat and local businessman Noley...so, more than a full evening, and in bed by 10:30, Mum a little unstable in the dark and uneven roads, anyway safe and she seems very happy in our extension, which is now her temp home for 6 weeks, all going very fine.
