September 10, 1978

Today Biddy + Pixter came ON TIME!?! Bobby + Piccy went to the dig in Coventry while Bid + I played here both in + out. After lunch we went for a walk by Newbold Common. Bobby + I almost ran 1 mile. This evening I saw ‘The Onedin Line’.

My father was a keen amateur archaeologist (I’m not sure if his older knees allow it any more) and was involved with several digs locally – and Biddy and Nicholas’ father was an archaeologist. In fact, my father was thinking about archaeology as a profession, but decided chemistry was more secure, I believe.
