Dear Alan, Lorna & Girls,
At long last I have found some time to sit down & write
to you all. We had a lovely 8 days with the Hayes, it rained nearly every day,
but we managed a swim most days & I played scrabble the rest of the time.
it has rained here on & off for the whole month it is really lovely & the dam is full & the tank
overflowing. I have filled the swimming pool & we have been swimming
everyday.
Jenny & family came for the weekend. We all went to Fay’s ballet concert on Saturday
night at the Hilton College Theatre. Ronald les & family also came & it
poured with rain the whole evening 43 mm of rain. Clinton & Byron were
going to amp at the dam for the night but as soon as the rain began Ronald had
to go down with the tractor & trailer & bring back 2 loads of junk
which thy had carted down to the dam.
the Besters have been here everyday swimming, but the kids
have all had tonsillitis in turns today was Nicky’s day & Debbie bought him
over to swim as he was boiling hot. I think there is some furniture polish on
this paper that’s why its not taking in parts. Neal has spent the whole day
here fixing up a small motor bike for the boys. Byron didn’t want to go to
Durban, so spent the weekend here.
Daddy has a huge carbuncle on the back of his neck & the
muck keeps pouring out. I am still painting mad I have now painted all the
gates from paint from Uncle Stan.
Hope you can read this my wrist is playing up.
Tons of
love to you all XXXXXXXXXXX
Dad,
Mum & family XXXXXXXXXXXXX
