Blues Monday - 17/03/97

Well, the first game at North Harbour Stadium, under lights on Saturday. The Waikato Chiefs against Auckland Blues. The Blues can't lose. 26-16, with Chiefs only just getting that close towards the end. Only got to see highlights because Diana and me went to the Hawaiian night at the tennis club.
Mother is back here because she has three relatives on death row. Bet none of them die before she goes back....
In the cricket at Trustbank Park in Hamilton, the kiwis were going well at about 173 for 3, then imploded to 204 for 7 or something like that. Astle never looked very good but managed to stick around a while and finally score around 52. Sri Lanka needs about 320 to win and were 20 for the loss of 2 last night.
Warriors play the Sharks tonight. Bet they lose.
Went to Mission Bay yesterday with the kids. They have shipped in heaps of sand so the beach comes right up to the footpath now. No wall! It looks amazing, must have been shitloads of truckloads. Rory fooled around in the water a lot and Hannah led Granny around in it.
I continued work on Son of Vege Garden yesterday, finishing the digging for the mowing strip and edging, sprayed the buffalo grass, attached the hose reel to it's new postion near the new taps. Will have to take a bunch of mandarins off the mandarin tree as it is drooping with the weight. Feijoa tree should start producing edible ones in a couple of weeks. Hope to concrete next weekend (the mowing strip and edging).
Scored 20Kg of oranges off gavin yesterday for about $30. Heaps fresh and hard to stop eating. Might make some juice but a lot will get eaten first.
Daylight saving turned off yesterday so got an extra hour's sleep.
