Glad I waited.

We both need passport type photos again for Olivia's visa application.
I thought it best to leave them till now rather than do it at home for $16

~$1 here.

Oh dear, sharp object.

I bought this soldering iron at a clearance shop in Legazpi City for P25 (something like $0.70) and the Edison screw lamp holders for about the same amount each, but it dawned on me I may have trouble with the pointy end of the iron in my carry bag. I won't be happy to lose a bargain like that.
So I reversed the point and poked the tip further down the barrel of the iron, fingers crossed I have an easy time now when I return home shortly.

They still exist.

They even used this typewriter for our marriage certificate.
It looks like the lass who drives it is old enough now to find a magnifying glass very useful.

Olivia and Jim.

We tied the knot today, for both of us our first loves had died, and loneliness can hurt.
Signing the certificate.
With Judge and witnesses, sister and brother.
Afterwards a feed with sisters.

But minutes later Olivia had smartened Jim up.

Long pants too, something is happening.

Big day coming up today.

And Jimmy is looking happily excited about it, perhaps just a tiny bit nervous as well, but at least not scared.

Teapot Jim.

Taken just after my teapot imitation, a little while earlier the mobile piggybank had a guard hop out with a gun the size of a bazooka, not being terribly brave I raised my arms (painfully) in classic surrender style, the other guard laughed.
The mall in the background is the major one in Legazpi City, A million people were waiting for it to open at 09:00, so they waited for another million and opened at 10:00. I needed a decent wi-fi dongle for a usable net connection. Thankfully all good now.
Of course with the good comes the bad, my left eye (usually my good eye) has a fog in it today that won't clear up. I suppose I should apply for the blind pension when I get home.
