 Sunshine. Up with the larks. Made our pilgrimage to the market. Feel listless. I followed Ally around like a diabetic Doberman Pincher. Came back in the afternoon and watched the wrestling on TV. I cannot understand how people pay to watch. We had a lasagne. I shaved off my moustache and put on trendy clothes in an attempt to look 18. If Dave L can do it then so can I. Jill and Tim came at 8 and we went to the Woolpack at Rawdon where we met Karen, Steve, Di, and Paul. They are all slimming. On to Dave L's. Ally opened the door and a flying trifle flew past her nose missing it by inches and splattered on the kitchen wall. Breathtaking. Eight or nine youths were making merry pouring beer over each other. ______. A young man with flashed blond hair was romping with a pissed little girl who was swigging from half a bottle of whisky [presumably the other half was inside her]. MM and Marita arrived bringing with them some sanity. Jill went outside [after the fireworks display where I set fire to one of my shoes] and became horribly lost somewhere on Tennyson Street. Inside we were oblivious to her distress, and when she eventually found her way back she wept buckets. Jacq came with a girl called Lynne. I sat with my trousers rolled up to the knees quoting Shakespeare, much to the displeasure of Ally who found my behaviour trying. I fell into a bush and was lifted, bleeding, into the car. Horrid.

 Waltergarth Phil the Greek is 64 today.  We left Samuel with his grandad and went to Skipton for an hour so. Market Day. Returned for lunch...
