February 1967

Once again, 2008 comments are in Brown. All the rest is 1967 stuff – verbatim

Wed 1st – Did 4 more pages. didn’t do Games
Thu 2nd – Went to Town boys. Got badges. (Rugby)
Fri 3rd – went to town with Michael, Willy and Pete (we used to go to various coffee bars!)
Sat 4th – Town boys v Wakefield (I hope they lose – I obivously didn’t get picked to play!) Lost 50-4. Town 1-0, Fartown 7-12. 3 pages.

Sun 5th – Went to church. Did one page of project. Total 42. Now the numbers in the margins first seen in January become clear – the pages are project pages. I can’t remember what the project was exactly – but i think it was all about bread and was contributed towards my Geography CSE result. Imagine kids doing 50 pages these days?
