thank you VERY much...

Things that might be described as fawningly sentimental in Oz are run-of-the-mill in the Philippines. That isn’t to say that 2 years in a relationship isn’t a worthwhile thing – it is, and my 2 years with D are a clear record for me. G, the woman who cleans my apartment, thought it worth celebrating and penned the below note. I was genuinely touched, despite the last sentence, which I will put down to a grammatical error and not vindictiveness on her part.
