Rex and cats

Rex has a problem with the kitten 'cause I ordered him not to touch it. And he obeys. Good boy. When we do morning running he chases all cats and yes, want to kill them. Chicken, goat he is not interested and these running free all over.

A cat mama dropped four kittens just outside our fence. All others long gone but one kitten hanging around with our old cat. We had cats before but Rex managed to drive them away. Only one white boy living 'upstairs', i.e. on top of posts, on the fence, in the tree. Survival story. And now has company of this kitten.

Actually this kitten slept in kitchen garbage bin last night when bagyo Lan's tail giving us strong winds, rain.

Happiness is kids

Max walking in Swedish Army boots. This good boots You cannot find here.



Kids love playing with water. They run naked in the rain. This pic after swimming in the sea.

Happiness is

...own bananas. We have these red, bukid bananas, also tundan and bolognan.

...parsley, ruccola grows grazy. Also calamansi, tampis, papaya. Mango must wait 5 more years. Only problem is koriander, I really like but cannot make the quantities I want.

Singkamas

First time ever I taste singkamas as it's name is here. Singkamas is the root of Mexican turnip or Jicama. Funny taste. Like Swedish 'kålrot' or swede 😀. Sweet and juicy, chunky. Keep in fridge, peel and eat. Kids like it too.

Panagsama news

They took away the roundel-triangle in Panagsama where the trikes parking. For what? To give space for two (2) more trikes to park there. Oh well.' Should have been K-markt?

P-sama really busy now. Asian guests most. Ofcourse it is high season but also these old folks (like me?), pensionist on the run, and want house and lot. Good so many local ladies willing to help in this intrigue business.

Rabies

Rabies is common in PI, Stray dogs everywhere, many aggressive but seldom dare to attack into skin. There are strict rules a pet owner must follow. Penalties are quite heavy to pinoy pocket. The problem is that this law, like the most, is not implemented. If bitten by a pet, the pet owner must take the victim to doc and pay for expenses.

Positive is that today the anti-rabies shots are free. Before You have to pay up to 5000p. Anti-rabies clinic gives the victim a shot on each side arm. Repeated three times.
