From Melbourne
3.4.82
Dear Alan,
Well
you certainly are getting around. I imagine the place you are now it quite
different to the clinic you were at. What sort of people are the patients now.
I usually have a look each day in the paper at the temperatures around the
world. I have noticed that Johannesburg seems to have a fairly good climate and
even not unlike Melbourne’s weather. Will this place be much the same.
You mentioned about the tapestries. I have
been reading a book about Lesotho and it mentions a lot about the mohair
industry. Lois thought if you could send some phots of what they are like we
should be able to find somewhere that they could be sold.
We have put the one you sent on the wall and I would like to
have another different kind. I could buy it off you. If we had one here we
could show other people but I would like to keep one as they are different from
having painting on the wall. If they are good then people don’t mind paying for
them.
There
has not been much about Sth Africa in the paper lately because there seems so
much interest in other countries. I think Australia must be one of the safest
and I suppose boring countries to live in. We have a State election this
Saturday between Thomson (Liberal) @Cain (Labor) and even the papers are not
very excited. There really are no issues. Everyone says Labor will win but not
for any good reason except that the Liberals have been in power for so long ie
27 years that they have become complacent. Katherine is back from her stay in France
@ Europe. She didn’t even stay all the time she planned. Seems that she was
lonely and she didn’t like the way the men in some countries behaved to a young
blond girl. She said they were worst in Germany. She liked France. Now she is
looking for a job teaching. Not too easy to find one.
The
football season started last Saturday and on Sunday South Melbourne played
Melbourne in Sydney. They are trying to
get a club going in Sydney. There was a big attendance but I don’t know if that
will happen every time. Dad didn’t go here because he wasn’t feeling too well.
Is getting better now. Love
Mum.
