1966 | During the night someone walked down the alley and smashed the rear windows of the cars including Kincy's and mine. Cops found the guy and he ended up paying back some of the cost over the next year. | |
1970 | F - Typical day: I got up at 7:10AM, made a couple eggs and tea. Had my vitamin tablet with orange juice. Took a shower (cold water) and walked down to school. 8:45-9:25 taught my group of 4 boys 5th form math. Free from 9:30-10:10 so I dittoed (meths banda) off some tests. 10:15-10:55 taught Form I (5th grade) art. 11-11:15 coffee break and I read my mail (I get 3 letters a day on average - one from Gail, one from Mom and the odd one). 11:20-Noon Form 5 math Noon-12:40 Form 1 art again. 12:40-1:45 lunch in dining hall with boys. 1:45-2:25 Form 4 Math 2:30-3:10 Test for my class of 4. Had coffee (instant) after school in staff room. Procurred text and exercise books for a new boy. Walked home, corrected homework, washed part of kitchen wall, wrote a letter, went to dining hall for supper with boys. After eating the boys have "prep" in homerooms in uniform doing homework. I went down and helped students individually. Prep ends at 9PM and I went home to correct homework. A couple boys came up and we had tea with them until it was 'lights out'. When they left the VSAs, Dave and I made some yaqona and sat around drinking until midnight". | Ajax Man |
1971 | Gurmit over to say farewell - leaves for NZ tomorrow. | |
1975 | My first Rock 'n Roll class - played samples of each type of rock/pop on the incredibly bad school record player. After class some girls asked me to do more 1974 stuff. Which is kind of not the point in doing the "History of R'nR". | Lecture notes |
1981 | F - Gail and I went to H&R Block in West St Paul. Spent and hour with Jeanette Locke going over our taxes. [ed. - she decided we do a 'short year' and I paid them $90 to lose money! Going full-year would have got us a refund.] | |
1983 | Su - Got $20 of food from Applebaums for $12 with triple value coupon day. | |
1985 | Mary came over with a new offer on the house and since it was to our terms we accepted. | |
1993 | Made a headphone birthday cake for Steve and when the Whites arrived we were all sitting in the lounge wearing headphones and ignored them. | |
