July 1 (Sat)
Mum and dad went to Fleetwood or Blackpool. I did some of model and then went up town to collect J. We had dead good fun keeping house. My fingers are peeling near the nails. We made this terrific concoction of pineapples, bananas and Swiss roll - lovely. Poor Lady misses mum and dad when they go away but we take her out for walks.
July 2 (Sun)
Would you believe I got up at 6.30 this morning? Caroline came later to get a geography question for homework. Walked her back home, me, J and dog. Fun. Only 2 weeks off the holiday now! Exciting!! Mum and dad came home and me and J burnt potatoes.
July 3 (Mon)
Gosh, school seems to be dragging on forever. Done some more of model - coming on quite well now. In Russian Miss Hatch let us listen to a tape of a Russian programme that the BBC is planning to use. They're using our school as a guinea pig. Robert Redford's on the telly on Wed. I want to go to J's to watch it because it's on BBC2
July 4
Today I tried to be happy. It worked until tonight. N phoned and told us the results of her exams. She's failed one and dad was really cross. He gave me a lecture about it. I feel like crying. I am crying. J was off today. I phoned her and she said she had violent stomach pains and felt dizzy etc. Poor thing.
July 5
Would have been nice day if that awful thought about poor N hadn't kept lurking underneath. Dad gone to London for the day. I'm sure he's upset. Parents of new girls came looking round today at school. What a load of snobs, staring through the windows etc. It felt like a zoo. Rob Redford not on TV.
July 6 Thur
Me, J, C, R, S and C have all decided to go camping during the summer holidays. It'll be great fun. Don't seem to have done anything at school hardly. Nice and sunny most of day, but rained a bit this morning. Hope it's sunny for the hols.
July 7
Happy morning but I feel so tired. S got a beautiful Robert Redford poster. Gorgeous. Lucky thing. Broke up half way through day 'cos junior prize-giving tonight. Went into town with J - bought a pair of pumps, went to the library, got SF and Tolkien. Auntie Annie, Uncle Fred and Auntie Emma came. Mum went with them to Auntie May's. Came back late - worried me.
July 8 (Sat)
Went to pick N up in Birmingham. Picked up 3 weird hitch-hikers - I'm sure one was a drug addict - but he was gorgeous. Norma and dad were okay - thought dad would treat her a bit funny. So happy. Glad N home. Taped loads of nice things - remember Albatross by Fleetwood Mac? Nice. Also a tape of N drunk at a university party - it's a laugh, but I was a bit embarrassed.
July 9
Quite a nice day. Got up lovely and late for a change. Been a bit of a rush to finish my space model. Looking quite nice now. Everyone's helped. Did log-book to go with it. Pretty nice. Auntie May came - brought some old photos of me and everybody. Lovely. I like my Auntie May. She brought some scent for me and Norma. I'm hungry. Fridge works.
July 10 (Mon)
Not too bad a day. Done nothing at school except for the Arts Festival in afternoon. Obstacle, 3-legged and wheelbarrow races - oh what fun! Cake competition as well as the arts sections. My space model came 1st in that section. I'm very pleased. Tonight at home it was horrible. Me & Norma had a whopping great row with mum. Dad was on our side. I cried and lost temper. It's okay now. Happy again.
