Back to Months

3rd	4th	5th
1988	Easter Monday - Karioitahi with Whites, Tui and Granny. Real mean surf - full force. I got several good rides and one or two that tumbled me about fiercely. Brought the dogs along and they loved every minute, except when Gail went in (video). Everything came to a halt when David stepped on something cut a deep gash in his big toe. We cleaned it the best we could and went to Whites'. Waiuku doctor not available until 3PM, so on advice from nurse David cleaned the best he could and I dressed it. Looked clean and no blood but all the way to muscle. We stayed on for a bbq. Woolies (Charles, Elspeth and Janet) came and brought Tui back to Auckland and Granny to stay with them for a few weeks. That meant we could play bridge, but no cards so Ian and I walked to dairy to buy a deck. Susi and I had good hands. Video City to get "Meat Loaf". Chatted with the Maori fellow about the place since I recognized him from Video Barn. Ended up getting a FM89 bumper sticker, Transformer comic and a bag of marshmallow eggs for free.
2001	Final internet class and I rewarded them with a Dibs marshmallow (wildberrry flavor) Easter bunny. Christine got me good when I told the class that my room was tidy after a week of being too ill to go outside, she said: "So you do go outside?".
2008	Clinton, of Novus, came out to patch up the Charade windscreen. And then it took Mohammed (sent by Franklin Property Services) 3 hours to figure out the wiring for the 3-way in the bathroom.
2010	Su - Went to the Warriors vs Manly. Under-20s lost as did the big boys. A young Levon, seated next to me, was there before we arrived and he lost interest way before the second game ended. About 50 Sea Eagles fans were loud and boistrous throughout and enjoyed the win. Read match report at Worriers.
2018	W - Heather was sitting on bench waiting for Gail (1:45PM Dr appt) from 10AM until Noon when Ngaire went over. She is definitely out of it - memory wise. Russell called.
2021	Su - Gail tripped and fell outside and hurt her right elbow, hip and shoulder. Seems to be minor with nothing broken.
2023	T - Village gave us yummy hot-cross buns. Brought cans and Fe in and made $18.40. AFL: Suns were even with Bombers until 4th quarter and lost 108 (Langford had 5 goals) - 74.
