“I Like ‘Beetles'”: Thursday, 28th July, 1977

Although it was a bright, sunny morning it was only six degrees Celsius as we left for work. I did the driving and was in a jovial mood. Tiki, who dislikes them intensely, kept stirring me over my fondness for Volkswagen ‘Beetles’. Because I refused to look upon them as she does, she informed me that I would have to walk home this afternoon. I told her that if that, indeed, were the case then I had better get an immediate start and walked off without having kissed her goodbye. It wasn’t until she espied me hiding behind a fence, constructed of corrugated iron, that we laughed and kissed one another.

“Follow The Sun”, an outstanding documentary on the coast of the region known as The Kimberley, in the north of Western Australia, is shown this evening between half past seven and twenty past nine. Meanwhile, at Trent Bridge, Australia is making a promising start with Davis and McCosker having advanced the score to 1-94. A programme of the defunct series, “Banacek”, is viewed from ten minutes to ten. George Peppard is its star, cast in the title role of the private investigator, Thomas Banacek. Tonight’s guest star is Joanna Pettet, who was born in England. When I finally retired for the night, at half past twelve, Australia had disappointingly slumped to be 4-134.
