Fifty years ago: Monday, 7th June 1976
(Sedbergh School, age 14)
I didn’t sleep very well. Too hot and too much light, and Branston snores.
Chemistry: tests back, good scores
English: poems back, good marks.
Physics: Talk to Mike. We’d been at Mowden together and in the choir as head chorister.
Break: no post! My unreliable umbilical cord to the outside world. I like a letter, even if it’s just a statement for my music or newspaper subscription.Â
Latin: I feel like a stone statue. Impervious.
I tell the barber my hair is short enough.
Music: flute lesson
Biology: on syncytium
Swim: two hard, no IM. Competitive starts and relays.
Project Centre: I design a new cassette rack. Wood and Dowling.
