Oh boy, the leaves were just waiting for tomorrow when they could jump off the trees, it being October and all that. As far as today was concerned however, our Maths teacher was off sick, so M-A-T-H-S-D-I-D-N-T-H-A-P-P-E-N. What? Eh? Oh, right. Can't be bad. Roll on October.

Well, no it wasn't (any better today after the boredom of yesterday). I did ask in my diary, why do I always write 'boring day'? But then I'm guessing that it was a rhetorical question. Here's another one, can it be rhetorical, if you it yourself via the pages of a diary? Mmm?

Another boring day - here was hoping that tomorrow would be better. Then things got better in the afternoon, as Man Utd lost again - this time it was a 1-0 reversal at home to Chelsea. The good old days on two fronts!

Oh dear. I was in a strop. Apparently, I had been promised a rise in my pay from the newsagents, but today I was complaining bitterly that as yet, I'd not received it. In other news, Liverpool and Aston Villa played out a 3-3 draw and Shrewsbury Town lost (again).

Today must've been a boring day (!) as I made no mention of it. I did however, make a note of Tuesday night's football score - Liverpool had beaten Fulham 10-0 in the Littlewoods Cup.

Thank you Ben Elton (or whoever). I described today's Maths lesson as totally fascist! Must have been my particular buzz word of the time. The weather was 'nice' and I treated myself to 2 Cornish Pasties from a local bakery. I would have had them warm and they were more than likely just perfect! Mmm. Oh yes, a friend of mine bought both the 7" and 12" versions of the same record. Something that I found quite amusing, but then this was the time that I was doing things like buying Sinitta records (yes really) so who am I to talk?

Things were getting desperate. I went round and asked our neighbour for some help with my Physics homework. She was a primary supply teacher, but had done a bit of Maths and Physics in her time so in theory (and probably in practice) was a great help. As usual on a Wednesday afternoon, we’d been ice-skating and I was still enjoying that - I think.

I got my Alarm record changed today. It's funny, but I don't really want to know how much it could be worth now as I was very much a here and now person, so I wanted an Alarm record - not somebody else warbling away. I just hope it's not worth thousands.

A boring day apparently. We were treated to a day learning how to study, or is that studying how to learn. Essential stuff really, not that I saw it quite like that at the time.

Football on tv - and in proving it was the good old days, Man Utd lost to Everton 3-1. At this early stage in the season, they were 2nd from bottom with just 4 points.
