21st	22nd	23rd
1970	Ratu Penaia Ganilau, a member of Board of Govenors came to the school for an official visit. Read about the ceremonies at my QVS website. Tea in the staffroom and lunch. Taught in the afternoon and Ratu Ganilau moved about from class to class to observe education in action. We had switched timetables so each teacher would be doing a good class and most lesson were rehearsed.
1973	Dinner and cards at Toblers' Bruce and I won 3 games to 1.
1980	T - Visited Chuck and Inez in St Paul. Looked at photos of their lake home.
1983	F - Labine paid me for our 1967 Ford LTD ($50).
1984	Su - Hid eggs and setup Easter baskets before Towns brought kids home. Dad and Lavonne came and we had a nice visit and meal. David did magic tricks. When Towns left we played Pigmania. Joyce gave us $300 to buy a color TV.
1988	Made a video of house and yard. Ian, Susi and Granny stopped in on way to Woolies' prior to her departure tomorrow. Had a Babich '87 Classic Dry White and rum baba cake. David picked out Three Amigos and I chose House.

1998	W - Ian left his car with us and took the train to Wellington as Peter Menzel to see Te Papa.
1999	Th - Brought Ne to Brightside Hospital, where she had her tonsils removed. She had a private room with a nice view and neat TV. I slept and read until the operation was over. Nurse asked Ne if I were he boyfriend! Doug arrived with his chainsaw for RnR TP. Gail brought Ne home at 9PM.
2000	Sa - Roché and Shirley over for the first time. Vegetarian meal with bubbly grape juice.
2004	Saw Dr Harris and decided the burning pain in my left calf was probably just part of my CFS. Emery's to find a painter doing the exterior trim. Farmers where I ran into Scotty who told me Ann and Russell were at a funeral and that Christopher broke his leg skateboarding in Taupo and the A&E sent them to hospital in Rotorua where they stayed a couple days. Scott looking for a dark green t-shirt for work as the one New World gives him looks a bit poofy. This after I had put my arm around him and told the clerk we were catching up and didn't need any help. So who comes out of the changing rooms but all four de Villiers, so we had a long visit, while Roché was trying to find new work clothes. Whitcoull's where I got a deck of cards from Ann H and then Mitre 10 where I got a dehumidifier and sensor lights for inside garage. Dick Smith where I bought a smoke detector. Em's still not home so I went to Aldies' where I cleaned up David's computer while under the watchful eye of Taz. Trish gave me some food to get me through the 3 hours. Clark's. Mike used my question about Shumacher's weakness in his latest magazine Pitpass column. Caught up with Sophie - up on term break from Christchurch. Charlotte using salt solution to combat her nasal/sinus problems. Had supper with them and we unanimously dumped the Unison 2001 cabsav/merlot/syrah and moved onto an Alan Scott 2002 Pinot Noir. Mike and I played "Rock Fever" where you win a Back Stage Pass and when Sandy got home from getting Alex who just flew in from Wellington joined. Busy day and got home at midnight.
2006	Ian stopped in with an umbrella to be made into a pancho. Ran into V-8's traffic at the Pukekohe Golf Club and it took me 15 minutes longer to get to Papakura. We got to the stadium in time to watch a guy propose to his girl. Great game for a change with a win (match report).
2014	T - Lunch with Paul and Irene. Heard all about Seeka from Tazmania who takes anything in their house without asking - drinking ALL the red wine and eating anything chocolate.
