Tiki stirred me as I wore my new shoes for the first time. Among her jibes were the nicknames of “Clown” and “Boots”. I even pulled my old pair of shoes out of the rubbish and wore them until she had apologised.
On this quite cold and partly cloudy day, I watched “Westwind To Hawaii” from eleven o’clock, followed by the remainder of Channel Seven’s “Sounds Unlimited”, hosted by Donnie Sutherland. Peter McCann was seen to sing his hit of the moment, “Do You Wanna Make Love”.
After “Cher” had screened from noon, we walked the two miles through Gymea and Miranda. “Primus” appeared at half past three. Today’s programme from this defunct series focused on sharks and featured the German actress, Eva Renzi. Half an hour later we watched the Australian educational series, “The Curiosity Show”, which is highly informative to both the young and the young at heart. It is hosted by Professor Rob Morrison and Dr. Deane Hutton.
During this programme I responded to a question that was asked of the viewer. Tiki, in noting that my answer was incorrect, volunteered: ‘You gave the wrong answer!’
“I’m not right all of the time.” I replied.
‘Were you wrong when you married me?’ she questioned.
“No, you were wrong when you married me!” I quipped, with a cheeky smile.
“Seven’s Big League”, this evening, covers this afternoon’s major semifinal, which was played between St. George and Parramatta. Ted Goodwin kicked a penalty goal right on half-time to give the ‘Dragons’ the lead by two points to nil. This lead was to be extended as the match progressed, which resulted in the more highly fancied side, Parramatta, being unexpectedly defeated by ten points to five. The win ensures the victor of a berth in the grand final, in a fortnight.
We watched a major part of the film, “The Log Of The Black Pearl”. Produced in 1975, it stars the veteran actor, Ralph “Follow That Man”/”The Eleventh Hour” Bellamy, Anne Archer and Glenn “It’s A Man’s World”/”Route 66″/”The Road West”/”Star Trek” Corbett.
