January 26th (Sat)
Working at Hardcastle's. Miss Hoodless wasn't in today. Barbara's been ever so nice. I got some lovely pop sox. Shiny. Went out with Geoff again. Mum went mad with me when I came in (1.15am). But she was a bit upset 'cos they haven't been out.
Jan 27th
Hell's bells, is there some sort of curse on our family? Mum and dad went out and mum got knocked down by a motor-bike*. Dislocated shoulder, stitches in leg. Ambulance brought her home.
Jan 28th
Sorry I'm behind but just lately I've been v tired, having to look after mum + everything. She's not at all well and dad stayed at home today to look after her!!! Having an applied maths test tomorrow. No kidding, I've hardly done any revision.
Jan 29th (Tues)
Mum's stil bad. I wrote letter to Norma. Dad's annoyed because she hasn't been in touch. Maths test rotten. Behind with homework. V v tired.
Jan 30th
Auntie May has been the last 2 days, to look after mum. Dad's still decorating. Mum's a lot better. Norma phoned. I sent off for some travel brochures. Cousin Marion came to visit mum. I'm stil itchy. Got 63% for maths.
Jan 31st
Ordinary common or garden school day. Geoff phoned about going out. Might be going to see film 'Enter the Dragon' (King Fu film)
*Commentary
Jan 27th - I have only just (40 years on) made the connection between this event and what I reported a few days earlier - that mum had a cataract on her eye. She may not have even seen the motorbike. In one respect these were not major injuries, but mum was quite frail and small, and this accident changed her life, I think. It's an event that is stil emotionally-laden, after all these years.
