1969 Somehow Chris and I returned from Jerry's to cities. Don't think it was by tractor, eh?
1972 Checked out of the South Seas. Immigration where we got Gail's visa fixed up.
1975 Klybergs over with watermelon for slides of Fiji.
1985 Sa - Built the bed base [ed. - stopped using it in 2005 - I was dubbing a tape for Doug and apparently he can hear the interference caused each time I drilled]. Sandy and Mike's place on Dominion Road. Their daughter, Sofi, is a real whizbang fun lover. She was just learning to walk. Also met Benji the cat. Had a fantastic evening of just talk. Mike is a wine connoisseur, so we had some good stuff including an excellent '79 Chateaux Reynella CabSav, a young, harsh '83 deRedcliffe Estates CabSav/Merlot and a very good '81 Corbans Cabernet Sav Blanc. He lent me a book on NZ wines.
1988 OZ trip: Blue Mountains to Dubbo. Go to Trip Report
1991 . Adults went to Botanical Gardens with Ian and Susi and walked the bush to Totara Park. Back for bridge until 10PM sipping on a very woody Shiraz/Cabernet from a cask.
1994 Gail went to Auckland to march for parity with Secondary teachers. Into town to find a bomb scare at Post Office. Package turned out to be an alarm clock from Korea to a student at Rosehill. Bought a Philips Air Freshener/Ionizer [ed. - still using it 2022].
1997 Su - Day 6 of our 3 month journey around the world. See 1997 Trip Photo Journal.
2010 T - Well, all those groceries Gail bought yesterday must have upset the fridge as it stopped working overnight. Gail and I let Kim at Gary Pye's 100% sell a new fridge. Looked at Gail's and David's 533 photos.

2018 F - Kathy and Mike stopped in for a couple hours of catching up.
