February 22, 1978

Today for Handwriting we did Gothic lettering. We only got as far as the title but I suspect we will write the whole alphabet, small and large, in Gothic lettering next Wednesday. Our school might have to close down if we don’t get oil tomorrow for heating. The tanker drivers are back at work, but there are other schools with less oil. I cooked fairy cakes for Home Economics. I watched Grange Hill.

I didn’t remember these strikes – and looking them up the worse strikes were the following winter – but clearly I was aware of them at the time.
