From Melbourne
15.11.82
Dear Alan,
I
haven’t written for several weeks firstly because nothing much has been
happening here and secondly I thought there might have been a letter from you
that I could reply to. The only thing that has happened was that I got rich. I
think I mentioned that I lost my voice for several day. Funny thing was I didn’t feel in the least
bit sick but a week later I couldn’t move my neck for several day. It was
really stiff. Ralph @ Noeline were at our place one night last week @ exactly
the same thing happened to Ralph. Lost his voice a week later a stiff neck.
Goodness knows what we had wasn’t much point going to a doctor he would have
just said I had a virus going around.
Nothing more happened @ I seem alright
now. Lois was down last week but wasn’t home much. Did see a little of her. Pam
was home this weekend @ went to the Organ Pipes. Her and Bev went on a
demonstration through Melbourne by the British Biologist David Belamy to try
and stop the Tasmanian Government from damming the Franklin River in the South
West of the state. I don’t think the
State Government will take any notice but the demonstrators might make the
Federal Government intervene. It has been very quiet here politically Fraser is
in hospital having an operation for his back so everything seemed to have
stopped.
The
weather has been so dry we went to Trentham on Saturday and very little of the
grass needed cutting. There is nothing in any of the paddocks. We still have
water from the bore. We had to come home early so Dad could see the last hour of
the first test on the TV from Perth. Pamela, Beverley and Clare (Pamela’s
friend) were all watching it when we got home. It seem there was a brawl and
one of our players was hurt. Some English spectators came on to the ground.
Everyone was a bit disgusted and on Sunday no one was allowed to bring any
alcohol into the ground. Everyone was peaceful on Sunday.
I can’t
leave the kindergarten yet it is just pouring with rain. Has been most of the
afternoon so the gardens and paddocks should look a bit better. It doesn’t look
as if it is stopping I will just have to get wet. I didn’t bring a coat.
Love
from Mum
