ExpatTV
The Olympics has started and coverage in the Philippines is not good however by using my Expat TV, I am able to watch live and also recorded sessions on any event. The BBC as host nation controls the broadcasting, with individual countries deciding what programs they will broadcast, which of does not suit all viewer.
The Expat TV system can access the all the events, so you can watch your favourite team or individual. I think it is great. The secret is not to look at the results but seek out events you want to watch in order to keep the surprise.
On other matters one of our local supermarkets is running a health week and offering free checkups, I and my family took up the offer however they only tested blood pressure rather than also calculating the BMI and measuring weight ,height, and waist measurements.
This was disappointing, however my partner blood pressure was measured above the normal level, so we will need to to test again to see if she has a problem.
We are still suffering a lot of rain and high winds with a stream of depressions passing close to the Philippines and the electrical system has suffered from a number of brown outs.
On the home front Jasmin finally mastered driving in Dipolog city and has the confidence to take our 4*4 for for shopping trips to the market, and to take Jay to and from school when it is raining.
This week we had the change to meet a group of German ex-pats, one of whom hosted a party at his farm outside Polenco. He has a nice set up with coconut trees surrounding his homestead, not far from an army camp, which is good for security.
