New VCR and the prodigal son due to return - 03/03/97

Rory is still in Sydney, comes back tomorrow. Our neighbour Jim asked yesterday if he was okay because things seemed quiet. Hannah doesn't really want him back. I miss him heaps. Diana is starting to go funny about him too. He's not five yet, he's seems so grown up but he's still pretty little.
NZ won the cricket yesterday. Wankers. Most useless team to crawl onto the pitch. I think I will protest by not going to any cricket with my season ticket this year.
Auckland Blues had a draw with the Northern Transvaal Blue Bulls. Didn't watch the game because some bastard had a radio going in a gas station so I knew what happened already. Watched the Waikato Chiefs just beat the Wellington Hurricanes on Friday, very good game. The Worriors played Brisbane again to open the season (third time in a row). They lost, who cares. They are in the same bucket as the cricket team as far as I am concerned.
Put in a new letterbox last night and this morning. My life is just so full of excitement it is hard to describe. My emails are so full of excrement you have to wipe your screen.
I went to Clevedon to play interclub and won my mixed doubles 6-3 6-0. Was winning doubles 6-4 when the rain knocked it on the head. First time (of three) that I won. First time lost both, second time won one, lost one.
Went to the Wings and Wheels at Whenuapai, saw a customer racing, although he was third for a while, he disappeared all of a sudden. Hannah enjoyed herself.
Big family reunion this weekend. Can't wait for that, believe me. Get to be in the same place as my father. Pass the Prozac.
Garden taps are finally in, will have to do the irrigation system and other bits now. Most of the veges are gone, but some potatoes and one tomato are still growing. Going to dig the whole thing over and expand it. Some weeds have survived nearly two weeks in the lawn. I am getting slacker all the time.
Got a stereo video yesterday !!!! Whoopee! Now I have to buy Jurassic Park and watch it in sensurround. (note from 2007, interesting that ten years ago we were not yet buying DVDs, how soon you forget. Also, still using the video, I think)
Everything else is muddling along. No mass murders or $90 underwear to report.
