September 22, 1978

Today was Friday. We had Maths first, and then Music. In Music we learnt and wrote about pitch. Then we had Geography and we drew our plan of the classroom. After break there was French and English. We read from ‘A Christmas Carol’ in English. After lunch there was Games. After school we went swimming at the University. I did all of the Bronze test but the bit with clothes on.

We had our regular swimming lesson on Friday evening for years – I made it through the Bronze and Silver survival tests in the end but I don’t think I ever managed the Gold test because there was a speeded swimming section and I wasn’t fast enough. I had the same problem as a student when I tried to do a Lifesaving course – slow but certain, that’s my swimming.
