Thursday January 21, 1982

 Another dawn start to beat the crush caused by Ray Buckton.

Bob [Schofield] has finally used my tip about Jeremy Lascelles. It seems gthat the young man married last July a certain Julie Baylis, of Worcester, and both are employed by Virgin Records. Bob, beaming, told me he has now passed on 'his scoop' to the Daily Mirror. Am I being used? What price will they pay Bob for my work?

Royal news: Princess Margaret is ill with gastro trouble. Prince Andrew is in love with a ballet dancer called Karen. Will we have long to wait for the commemorative mugs?

Phoned Ally, glum at the AHA complaining of not enough work. Told her to keep her pecker up. Phoned Mum. She's having Frances on Saturday because 'Lady' Audrey [Baker] is having a birthday party. No Susie news although she was at the hospital today. She is growing tired of hanging on.

To the reference library again at lunch. They say the 1881 census will be ready for public viewing in three or four months. Overjoyed that the place is open until 4pm on Saturdays. You know where to find us at the weekend.

Morrison's at 5. [I escaped the YP at 4 leaving Carol moaning]. Fish and chips at 6. Dave L phoned to invite himself to ours tomorrow. We haven't seen him since Sue's on Dec 27. He's disappointed because he thought Karen's party was on 23rd, not the 30th, and he's arranged to be elswehere.

'Top of the Pops' - abysmal. Phone Sue for a bulletin. She says baby could be another three weeks. Peter was out in Leeds with the boys. Chippy and Johnny are leaving for Miami next weeks for a two month sojourn. Ghastly thought.
