Dear Alan,
We
received your letter you wrote about the writers last Thursday took 8 days I
think that is the quickest we have had a letter. I am going to see if I can get
the book you mention from the library. I know there are books by Nadine G but I
haven’t read any. I must try them. How can you go to Basutoland if it belongs
to the black people. I thought they were just for black people. They are not
very large so I didn’t think they would want white people in them. When you
have a chance I would like to know what the weather and country is like in
Johannesburg. We all find what you say about the people is very interesting but
I would like to know a little more too.
Sharen
had her baby last week. It was late and large. She had to have it induced and
forceps were used. He was overweight and is called Troy. Anne went up @ saw her
on Saturday. She said she is alright now. Last Thursday we went to a Japanese
restaurant because it had been Beverley’s birthday on Wednesday. This was
instead of tea at home. I tried some abalone. They were quite nice in taste but
the texture was rubbery. I had a fish dish a mixture like a thick soup. Bev,
Lois and Dad all had meat but I do like fish.
Last
Friday evening and all day Saturday I went to a workshop on soils and trees.
Was interesting, the lecturer wasn’t very good but if we asked him questions he
was good at answering. We travelled around Wonthaggi up to Warragul. The
weather was beautiful and I learnt a little bit about soils.
Dad was
bit annoyed that you didn’t receive his letter. It was the longest letter he
can remember writing. He will just have to write another. Daylight saving
started yesterday and the only person who arrived late at church was Anne. She
forgot to put her clock on. Do you have daylight saving? Beverley is trying to
make up her mind what she will do next year but Lois and Pamela keep telling
her different things. She will have to make up her own mind but Lois and Pamela
can be very hard to get on with. They don’t agree with her subjects. She has
decided she doesn’t want to be a nurse at the moment.
Love
from Mum
