Diary Entries for : February 1976

Had a Geography exam all morning. Went British Aluminium Club with mum and dad at night a quiz. Was on for about an hour then bit of a disco. It was quite a good night out. Went bed at midnight.

Had a boring morning. Had a Chemistry exam in afternoon for 2 and a half hours, I was finished in an hour. It was raining all day. Me and Anthony followed Catherine’s mob and she got a bloody lift. I was in the mood for chatting blonde haired girls up that afternoon. Faked a John Lennon autograph* for Joanne’s boyfriend. * I faked John Lennon’s autograph on a postcard size photograph that came with Lennon’s classic album Imagine

Got a Valentines off Nancy*. Anthony and I walked home. Gave Gordon that photo autograph and he gave it to Catherine. Anyway on the way home Catherine dropped back and walked next to Anthony talking. Anthony told her the autograph was a fake. He kept asking her will she go out with me , but I heard her say to him, I don’t like him, I was really upset and took it to heart. Now I know what she’s like as a person. I really like her a lot, this feeling inside is killing me, nothing is important to me …

Went town in morning got two records. Think Catherine fancies Anthony coz why else would she drop back? Not to see me but to see Anthony. Everything goes in his way and against me. Roll on Monday home time. Never went out all day and night.

Stayed in all day. Mum and dad went out at night with Eric and Anne they came back to our house later. Well I’ve made it Monday, lets hope my wait is not in vane, you know what I mean. Catherine the love machine from Barnes Avenue.

Nothing at all happened I was very disappointed on the subject of Catherine of course. I hate it when nothing at home time happens, it’s bloody disheartening.

Stayed in all day had a bath in morning. Jim came with a cooker at one. Went Lodge at Monk’s at five to tell dad the car had gone wrong. It’s been a boring day. Love sick over Catherine, it’s when I’m lonely it hurts most.
