From Melbourne

Dear Alan,
I am
enclosing a few pieces I have cut from the paper to show you what is written
about South Africa. As you can see there is a wide range of views.
There
are a few letters about the cricketers playing in South Africa. There were also
some other with quite different views but I can’t find them.
The
article by peter Younghusband is interesting when you compare it what has just
happened. We really do not have very much in the papers here about SA but with
the cricketers and the Commonwealth Games there has been a bit lately. Is there
ever anything in the papers over there about Australia.
Last
weekend was the Moomba weekend and we stayed up at Trentham with Auntie Grace @
Win and Pamela @ her friend Clare. For the first time since the Moomba
procession started it rained most of the Monday morning. They still had the
procession but some of the floats didn’t go in it. We just stayed inside @ read
until it stopped then spent the rest of the day picking blackberries. In the
last two weekends we have picked nearly 100 lbs. that Win has made into jam. We
are going once more this weekend @ they should be the best because of all the
rain.
Beverley
is coping with driving the Mini to Uni each day. It is getting old @ several times something
has happened but she has managed.
We
changed our car this weekend for another one the same only new. This was
instead of a pay rise. Dad @ Ray say it is better to lease the car than give
themselves a rise. One day though we will have to buy a car.
There
was a bit in the paper the other day about dentists. The Dental Association was
saying the government should cut down on the number being trained. This has
been suggested before but so far nothing has happened. You are certainly
getting much more practice and experience than some of the other graduates from
the last few years. Has anybody else from Australia come over there to work.
I can’t remember if I told you or not but
Elizabeth is having a baby and Jenny is having one too. She waited awhile
before she said anything this time because of the miscarriage last time.
Love
from
Mum
