Wednesday 8th January 2020...back into the routine!!

had a really nice laid back morning relaxing and taking my time over breakfast and doing some computer work.


I have sent a thank you email to everyone who donated to the Three Kings..I am still waiting on the photos!


Back to poker this afternoon and the new decade did not diminish my winnings came away with 💯 pesos!!


Went straight to my gym session with Aaron which was again another hard work out.


I had time to come home get showered and changed and off to my first English class.......eight students showed up and we had a really good class I had printed off an article about new year resolutions and we read and talked about that.


One of my students, Martha had a birthday last week so we had a birthday celebration for her...


Love this cake!!





Martha is a single lady and she would love to find a nice man hence the three cute guys on the cake.....she really liked it!!!!








Just to let all my female admirers know after this shot on the way home I stopped at my favourite barber shop and the lovely young lady gave me a great haircut and shave for the amazing amount of 40 pesos!!!





I so enjoy these amazing young folks!!


Time for my show and I brought a piece of birthday cake home to go with my tea!



I like this article from the BBC sports..


Australia fires: Roger Federer, Serena Williams & Rafael Nadal to play fundraiser







Federer, Williams and Nadal have 62 Grand Slam singles titles between them

Roger Federer, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal will take part in an exhibition match to raise money for a bushfire relief fund in Australia.

The match is scheduled for 15 January, five days before the start of the Australian Open, and will take place at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena.

Australian Nick Kyrgios will also be playing, along with Stefanos Tsitsipas, Naomi Osaka and Caroline Wozniacki.

Fires in Australia have killed at least 25 people since September.


Millions of animals have also been killed and almost 2,000 homes destroyed.

Milder weather brought brief respite last weekend but fire crews are again preparing for worsening conditions with temperatures predicted to soar on Friday.

"For a period of about two and a half hours we're going to be showcasing the game, but also coming together as a community to play our part in the relief effort," said Tennis Australia chief Craig Tiley.

Kyrgios is donating 200 Australian dollars (£106) for every ace he hits in events held in Australia in January as part of the fundraising effort, while compatriot Ashleigh Barty will donate all of her prize money from the Brisbane International.

World number eight Belinda Bencic has pledged the same amount for every double fault she hits at the Adelaide International and Australian Open.

"I'm not the best at hitting aces but much better at double faults," the 22-year-old Swiss wrote on Twitter.


"We are heartbroken over the devastation these fires are causing all across our homeland," the players said.

"Our thoughts are with our families, friends and all of the people of Australia. We hope you feel our love and support and know that we will continue to bring awareness to this crisis globally and provide assistance in any way we can.


Yashi Kochi!!
