Back to Months

26th	27th	28th
1969	Help Kelley move into his house on 49th St. Went to his folks' for a meal, played pool and listened to Gary's records.
1981	F - Doug upset with his non-promotion to date. Tom upset that he has to do screens. Chris upset that John didn't tell her something. I'm in hot water for being too efficient.
1986	Th - Interviewed Paul Chadwick who presented himself well, but didn't seem like an Info Center type. Then Jim Mitchell put on a splendid performance of confidence. Time to put the heaters on in the evenings. Ironically, Here Comes Summer album came today ($7.98).
1988	Went out on Simon's boat. Beautiful day - perfect, but very little wind. Still we managed to get to Auckland in time. Began making our way to Princess Wharf when we found out that Michael Faye's maxi-hull, "New Zealand", would be towed to buoy A. So we turned about and within 30 minutes we were overtaken by about 4000 boats. Total chaos. Long haul back to MBBC at dusk. (video part 1 video part 2).
1993	Julie and Brett's wedding at Clifford House in Remuera. I set up Simon's video camera and chatted with the minister, Roger, who spent time in St Paul and Vienna. Short ceremony, then the wedding group left in a car for photos. At the reception we sat with the Rolles, Whites and Crawfords. I sat on floor to tape the speeches - Simon had me stand up and asked me if I had been a draft dodger. I told the MC, Bob, that Simon had a birthday yesterday, so we all sang to him. There were a few of Julie's Rosehill friends there - the only one I remembered was Gina Stephenson.
1999	Sa - Audrey and Kitty visited and had a tour of yard. Audrey used to bring her horses to graze on the property before it was subdivided. Karioitahi for surf with Senad and Titania. Aldies for David's birthday party and met the Craigens (Jeffrey).
2001	Sandspit because Trina's screen went black. Turned computer off and on and Voile la it works! Night class met in Ian's room so we could look at the scanner and digital camera (photo was taken by Charles Stubley). Spoke to Senad who now works for R & M Cleaning on weekends.
2005	Gail and I went to the Warriors game (Ann and Russell away with her cousin from England). Down 14-10 at half had the lead with 8 minutes left, only to lose 22-32. Too many penalties, bad calls and bad luck. Gail really into the ebb and flow and nervously kicking seat back in front of her and the guy asked her to stop.
2008	Graeme P's daughter, Marie, died in London so I went over to be with him for the day. Brought his bike in to be readied (he's racing in the SI, but now only first section and returning in two days when his son will arrive from Canada). Picked up Trish's car in Pakaranga and got it back to Manurewa where I dropped off Bonnie with Ne. Picked up Graeme's car in Papakura. Worked on his computer until his parents came to be with him.
2015	F - Anna over for Scrabble. Russell (horse running at Rotorua) came for some cribbage and after supper had a go at 8ME.
