I have decided that the two elements that I want to retain throughout this year's album will be the chevrons down in the right hand corner and the date label in the top right corner.
The journalling is mostly from blog posts this week, except for the 8 May journalling that is an extract from The Press about the decommisioning flights of the Iriquois helicopters that happened.

8 May journalling is:
The
distinctive sound of the Iroquois helicopter rang out over Christchurch for the
last time on Thursday.
Veterans
of Vietnam and other missions where the iconic aircraft operated were invited
to take a final flight on three of the choppers at Wigram, the RNZAF's first
operational base, before the remaining 14 aircraft in the fleet are
decommissioned on July 1.
The
choppers were in service for 49 years.
As mentioned above that is courtesy of The Press.
I actually saw those helicopters on Friday 8 May so Thursday wasn't the last time the distinctive noise was heard, but I wanted to document the fact that were gettting decommissioned, because as I grew up I remember hearing those helicopters a lot when they were based at Wigram.

There is no journalling for the other photo, the one of the TV. On Saturday 9 May we bought a new tv. There is a bit of a story to it, now I think about it so maybe I will actually do a layout on this new tv to be the facing page to this page.
