When visiting my parents last weekend, I unearthed some old photos from the Philippines. Here are my favourites:

My beautiful grandmother.



In the last two pictures, my dad is the guy in the middle and the guy in the top left, respectively. He was always easy to pick out in childhood group photos – just look for the gigantic one!
Yesterday, J & I had planned to spend a couple of hours walking around in the same place as this post, but the morning was dreary and wet for a long time. Instead, we stopped in to visit my parents and aunt for a while, and looked at old photographs and ate pineapple. Once the weather looked more agreeable, we took Ellie on a shorter walk through a different park, one I spent a lot of time in as a child. People were fishing in the river and having barbecues, despite the cold wind. It was so great to see.

I asked J to take a picture of this coffee my dad wanted me to bring him. The height of it was so ridiculous and I couldn't stop laughing about it.








More photos from Sunday, from before and after Ellie’s post-bath frenzy. It was a beautiful day, 17 degrees C, and J & Ellie & I went on a long walk. I needed to ask J to remind me how I usually dress for 17C – it’s been so long!
