‘Shane’: Tuesday, 5th July, 1977

It was a “warm” seven degrees Celsius at 6.30 a.m. We were listening to Cliff Richard’s “Don’t Turn The Lights Out” as we reached our place of work.

This evening, upon our return, we set out at half past five to walk up Port Hacking Road to Caringbah before we returned via Taren Road. This brought my mileage walked since the fifteenth of April to two hundred and thirty-five.

The usual viewing of a Tuesday followed, with Channel Seven’s “Willesee” followed by the American comedy, “Good Times”. It began to teem with rain, and, at eight o’clock, we turned the dial to Channel Nine in order to watch the latter half of “Charlie’s Angels”.

At half past eight, on Channel Seven, Bill Collins introduced the western, “Shane”, which is, indeed, a classic motion picture. Produced in 1952, it has the late Alan Ladd cast in the title role. Jack Palance is also present, as is the late Van Heflin, and Jean Arthur. The late Brandon De Wilde plays the part of Joey.
