February 9, 1978

Only 9!

Mr. Harris went over the maths test with us. I started to use deodorant! Mrs. Fletcher was back. Ugh, horrors, yuck. She makes us swim our arms off, instead of do nice things (like treading water and swimming under water). I had 3 pieces of taffy in my lunch, I ate them after swimming*. I got ‘More About Rebecca’ from the school library (after returning Hermits Hoard). We did Geography, on cotton again, and other crops. I watched ‘Blue Peter’ and ‘Tomorrows World’ and a programme on Inner Mongolia.
*naughty, naughty

I seem to remember my mother nagging me about using deodorant – she must have succeeded finally.
