Tuesday September 23, 1975
It feels like a Monday today because it's my first day back at work since the weekend.
I ring Carole at work and we decide to go to the cinema this evening. 'Mandingo' starring James Mason and Susan George, which is all about slaves and plantation life in America in the 19th century. I've heard that it's full of sex and violence, but when we eventually see it at 8.30 tonight it is very mild and typical indeed. Fancy, travelling all the way to Leeds to see a film which could easily cheer the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury himself. However, we did like it and it gave us the excuse (not that we need one) to sit huddled together in a dimly lit room.
Home on the 10.45 35 and I call at her home for a drink. After saying my fond farewells I walk home. Luckily I missed the rain, which just stopped as we alighted from the bus.
Home at about 12 and continue reading the Duke & Duchess of Windsor by Ralph Martin.
John is still at death's door, but he vows he'll be well again for his birthday celebrations on Thursday.
