1976	Gail called someone about a living room set. So I biked over to have a look and pay a deposit for it. Then school where Kay, Jackie, Sue and I did stationery stuff. Shots in gym for half an hour. Chain broke, so I walked the bike back to school. Barry Rodewald gave me a lift home and I showed him around the place. Gail bussed into Auckland and brought back PSIS loan forms so we can buy a washing machine.
1977	Painted "Go Home Alderson" on livingroom wall. Painted livingroom ceiling while watching Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair. Sanders and Aldersons over for home movies, photos and slides all our weddings. Had a bad Seppelt pinotage. Doug kicked a hedgehog on way out to car (painful sting on his toe). Te calls them "hog-hog".

1991	Boys cleared a path to the river. Gail and I took the dogs for a walk up the hill behind the camp. After lunch we went to the river for some photos and then we got the kids. Boys built a hot tub, I sat in the rapids (felt like a spa). Ne and I walked downstream to where it widen into a great expanse. Then we had an adventure trying to return through the bush. Hamburgers for supper, then we walked down to Catley's campsite so kids could roast hot dogs and marshmallows.	Catleys
