“Mum” and Wendy travelled into town to attend a screening of “Smokey And The Bandit”. The film stars Burt Reynolds, Sally “Gidget”/”The Flying Nun”/”The Girl With Something Extra” Field, Jerry Reed and Jackie Gleason.
This evening “Willesee”, again, centres upon the strike by workers within the power industry that has virtually crippled Victoria. I am listening to the radio for a change. Towards the end of a day that delivered extreme heat and humidity and a maximum of twenty-nine degrees Celsius, it is raining and we are, therefore, not going for a walk. I am listening to “Don’t It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue”, which is sung by Loretta Lynn’s sister, Crystal Gayle. It isn’t a hit out here, yet, although it is doing well in the United States.
At nine o’clock we watched the film, “A Cry In The Wilderness”. George Kennedy and Joanna Pettet occupy prominent roles in this production from 1973. Another motion picture, “Victory At Entebbe”, was being shown on Channel Ten.
