Gloves Required: Monday, 4th July, 1977

We awoke, at half past six, to an extremely cold temperature of five degrees Celsius. As we drove to work we became convinced that we each need to buy a pair of gloves.

Four jewfish cutlets cost us three dollars and fifty-seven cents. As Tiki cooked them, I watched a repetition from Bill Peach’s series, “Holiday”, which transports the viewer to the New Hebrides before embarking on a journey across southern Australia on the Indian-Pacific Railway and, finally, goes on a tour to Melbourne, which includes a day at Flemington Racecourse to witness the running of the Melbourne Cup.

Being totally predictable, we watched “Willesee” and “The Dick Emery Show” prior to reverting to Channel Two, at eight o’clock, to watch ‘Barrow Island: The Key To Survival (Part 2)’ from the series, “In The Wild” with Harry Butler. Harry, whilst being a rustic adventurer, is also a passionate conservationist.

In turn we reverted to Channel Seven, at half past eight, to watch the third instalment of “Captain And Kings”, which stars Richard Jordan, Barbara Parkins and Vic “Combat” Morrow. Produced last year, this mini-series traces the rise to wealth of an Irish immigrant in the United States of the late eighteen hundreds.
