3rd 4th 5th
1972 Finished typing up 271 "time" song titles.
1986 Gail and I went bowling with Ray & Marilyn and Nigel & Lyndsey Humphries and the rest of St Mary's staff on adjacent lanes. We could only bowl one line as the place is so busy. $4.50 plus 80¢ for shoes. Lots of fun as no one knew what they were doing - pick up any ball, throw it, drop it or push it. Took awhile for me to get used to my ball but I finished with 135 Gail had 104 and Nigel 103 and everyone else under 100. Went to Mark II in Papatoetoe, met Tim Rameka (works at Glenbrook extension). Chatted with Sandra who is up from Invercargill. At the meal sat across from Nellie & Craig and next to Bryce & Jeanette Swain who just got engaged. Went to Ulu's housewarming party. Great property. Chatted briefly with Terry and Heather, then upstairs to find Wojciech and Joanna and a long talk with them (article). Back down for an hour listening to George Thorogood.
1992 Went to Karioitahi and climbed to the top of the cliffs.
1993 Filled out a couple forms and had my checkbook handy for my application to replace the stolen reg sticker for the car. Charge was 25¢ which no way would cover the cost of the sticker, the forms and the agent's time.
1997 Sa - Day 89 of our 3 month journey around the world. See 1997 Trip Photo Journal.
2001 Brundell over for a meal - cracked Stephanie's '99 Alsace Pinot Noir. Doug arrived in time for a swim and dessert (chocolate mousse, topped with jellied chestnut sauce) with Dave's '99 Wyndham Bin 888 Cabernet Merlot. Doug and I played Scattergories (dance, Tom, jewelry).
2007 Graeme P over to look at our bathroom needs. Removed the wall light, shower door and mirror. We looked at 300 out of 800 of his trip photos (Canada and London).
2009 Su - email from Chris saying that mom is in a hospice and on her way out. Te will be driving to the Cities tomorrow. Angi called. I called Chris at the hospital and was able to say a few words to mom.
2010 M - PuddPudd was put down and we buried her in the east paddock garden.
2019 F - Ann, smelling of rose and walking, and Russell came. We had fish n chips for supper and then a wild game of Trivial Pursuit (US '96 version). Lots of fun. Spoke to James (in OZ) before they left (after 11PM).
2022 T - Walked to Noel Leeming from Bayfair lot to get printer ink. 10 minutes each way. Because of roundabout flyover construction traffic is backed up forever - walking is faster. AFL: Demons pulled out a win with 11 seconds to go beting Blues 79 - 74 and keeping Carlton out of finals.
