Part 200: 10th October 1966 9.30pm

Naught for my comfort. In spite of the fact that it seemed as if the worst at school was over – this year I had five free periods (of which one, I devote to giving Linda Parker a private lesson), two periods as good as free (supervising the sixth – 2 or 3 girls), another “good as free” (sitting in on TV drama with 50-60 kids), very easy first year classes – I have landed myself well and truly in…

I kaputted it the other daywhen I got upout of bed to stop the alarm ringing,and knocked it off the chest of drawers on the landing.

It’s good in so far as had she been using the washing machine the vrombissement would have…

Part 166: Monday, 9th August 1965, 10.00 p.m.

Aunt Debby is staying, and all three terrors are out of sight and sound at a creche for three hours in the morning. Perhaps longer for the rest of the time – Mrs White-Howells gave…

Writing this in classroom at F.B.C.S. Miss W. has arranged for me to take 4th yr. girls after play, leaving me free before play. Not looking forward to the girls. Feeling generally limp.
