  Transcription of Page 6

If pigs had wings & they could fly
Away up in the big blue sky
Would all my hopes & dreams come true?
And would I get to see Peru?
Then travel on to old Cathay
And take the road to Mandalay?

But I shall never journey far
Or see the sights of Zanzibar,
Or sail along the river Nile
And marvel at the crocodile.
I know I'll never do these things;
For pigs can't fly —
They have no wings.

Had a lovely 74th birthday. Marcus & Judy came with lovely rose bushes a most beautiful radio & cassette player. Tess came later with Acker Bilke tapes & we had tea together, lovely cards John, Judy, Tess, Marcus, Mu, Jean & Mrs Ives, pot of daffodils — no card, don't know the giver. How lucky I am. John rang, so did Jean. Mu rang Friday night.
