August 8th
Ju seems sad about her gran dying. It must be hard to take on board. At night went dancing. Dutch sat with us and then 2 French blokes. I didn't like any of them much. I wanted my Franz. He goes home tomorrow. See yellow paper*
August 9th Thur
Spent most of day with Franz on beach. Ju stayed at caravan. It can't be love - I've only known him 3 or 4 days - but he's nice. Wanted to know if I had slept with English fellas. I didn't give a straight answer. I'm a bit of a liar. Well, I don't know. He went. I didn't cry. Stayed in tonight.
August 10th
Did absolutely nothing all day. Didn't even sunbathe on beach or swim or anything. Got annoyed with Ju. We had 2 rows*. Cleared the air a bit. Getting brown now. Ju spent a lot of time talking to Italians across the road.
August 11th Sat
Ju wanted me to go to Tossa with Valent and Paolo and Hermano - I didn't want to go. Had a row. She went and I stayed home with Auntie Margaret - okay.
August 12th
Today Valentino etc went to Tossa for bull fights, so Ju has been bored. We were both bored. Did nothing.
August 13th
In morning we cleared the caravan up, and in affy we drove to Barcelona airport to collect Ju's mum. Ju's mum and aunt M started going on at me to go to Tossa, but I don't want to go. Me and Ju went to top - good dancing.
August 14th
Behind with diary. A lazy day. We swam and sun-bathed and did daft things. Ju spent time with Valentino.
August 15th
Can't remember much. Valentino went home and Ju cried her eyes out. I think he was annoyed with her last night because me and her danced with 2 arty types. Sat with 2 English drips at night.
August 16th Thur
Oh1 I've seen this gorgeous bloke - we've nicknamed him 'Simple Simon' - he's French and beautiful. He's got long hair and a tash and he's small. He plays the guitar.
August 17th
I'm sorry - I just can't remember exactly - oh! I bought a new bikini - there's a shop on the campsite. Cost 380 pesetas - £2 something.
August 18th
I can't remember much but I do know I'm miserable. Had another row with Ju. Wrote postcard to SQ. I'm in love with Simple Simon. I mean it.
August 19th
Oh dear. I got a bit drunk at night. We were having a laugh on beach with a few people, including nice Bavarian called Rudi. I was sick twice. I lost a contact lens in the sand.*
*Commentary
Aug 8 - sorry - no yellow paper in diary!
Aug 10 - I guess it doesn't take too much reading between the lines to understand this sulky grumpy teenager. I wanted a boyfriend, and I wanted to be able to spend time on my own with him, but if Julie wanted to be with a boy, and this excluded me, then I got cross. Sorry Ju!
Aug 19 - Julie and I recall this episode well. Being drunk, I decided that a sure-fire way of finding the contact lens (it being dark) would be to draw a big circle in the sand around where I thought the lost lens to be. The next morning we went back but, of course, the circle n the sand, and the contact lens, were nowhere to be found. I spent the rest of the holiday squinting short-sightedly through one eye, because vanity would not permit me to wear glasses.
