We had an LSI return from Siquijor to Sibulan last month and we were able to get approval for home quarantine. You need to start with the LGU office (office of the Mayor) and they will direct you to a medical office where we had to schedule a medical team to come and inspect our home. We have a maids quarters, and you need something like that, with sleeping quarters and CR completely separated off from the main house. The team took pictures and then went back to the medical office and got the doctor to approve. We then had to go to our Barangay hall and get approval from them. Then with all of those approvals in hand we had to go back to the LGU office and get their approval and a special COVID Shield certificate. The returning person was picked up by an ambulance with a team in full PPE gear and brought to our house where they had to remain in the maids quarters for 14 days. Someone from the medical office may come by unannounced at any time for inspection, after 5 days they came and did a COVID swab test (which was negative, took 7 days to get the results). So, it can be done if you have the facilities for it and go through a lot of work to get all of the needed approvals.

 

Um, er..I’m in two minds about this. The forum owner seems to be more proactive of late and that seems to me to have lifted the tone somewhat. I’d been at the end of one or two stinging personal attacks a few years back (they just stung, bit surprising, no harm done other than to the ego for 5 minutes) and putting a stop to that imho has improved the general tone.

At others I’ve thought some moderator actions have been a little harsh and outside my comprehension. I own that, maybe there’s some stuff I don’t know about going on in the background. He’s the mod, he owns the d*mn thing and has to live with the ball ache. But overall, not a bad and probably un rewarded job. General win I reckon.

As for the political stuff, I welcome views n opinions, I might learn from them to change my set in their ways outlook. I think the freedom to express them without pillory or personal attack is just as important as me commenting on those I disagree with to the same standards. Racist etc views being the exception. No place for that.

so Mod/Admin, not a bad job, thanx for the space, guess we could all a thing or two, huh?

 

He may actually be a very clever man.

Adding organic matter to sand produces loam - the best growing medium for most plants. So maybe soon you will see him plant a coconut in the same spot.

Or not.

 

Great - I am a firm believer in self-tuition. Rather than educate the masses with what they don't ever need to know, best to educate them to find out WHERE to locate what they DO need to know.

 

I do in Valencia on Sunday and at home here opening at 7.00 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Actually I will serve you breakfast any day you like at 7.00. It is no trouble. We have a full menu for American breakfast here at the house. Potatoes, 2 eggs any style including poached, choose whole wheat or white toast, roll, biscuit or English muffin, sausage or bacon and coffee or tea, 150p. We do orange rolls, cinnamon rolls and sausage gravy and biscuits. You know our food and the breakfast is the same quality.

 

Lets be honest here, you seriously think a 25 peso mask is going to save you, DREAM ON, when I go out yes I wear a mask, but not because it will save me, but because of the solidarity of wearing it, its purely psychological, anything else is pure codswallop

 

Thank you , you're always welcome.
I'll be searching for fresh dorado this morning, exhausted my supply yesterday. At the same time yesterday I baked bread all day, white and whole wheat rolls and loaves of any given size. So I need flour and yeast , too. Several of my customers have shown interest in my bread and I'm only too happy to help out when possible. As soon as i acquire the necessary ingredients I'll continue baking this morning.
Today I'll also have pork fillets, I'll be sauteing with fresh apple slices, a squeeze of lime juice , white wine and a creamy mushroom sauce. But please, don't hesitate to ask if you want them cooked any other way and the same applies to all my dishes. If you want fish poached... no problem. If you want it baked in the oven , also no problem unless the oven is already full of baking bread. However, I think it's possible I could install another oven..... mmmmm... I've already got two fryers on the go which is all well and good if I'm working alone but if not, then I have to think of the safety of my crew. So we'll see.
Finally, come about 18:00 I'm getting a tad tired, drenched in sweat ( I do always carry a change of clothes) and not just a little grumpy. Especially if I'm having to go up and down those stairs time after time. Just ignore me and any expletives you're not really meant to hear.
I hope you all have a great day, take care.
