…Last day of February.
Tuff [sic] luck for the people who have their birthdays on February 29th.
You haven’t got one this year.
Did two cards today, nearly three, in SMP.
Got another How We Used To Live book from the library…

My interest in the TV series was clearly not waning. This must have been a tie-in book that was available for pupils to borrow from the school library – a room that doubled as a classroom and which also housed, tantalisingly, the music trolley. Many’s the time I went into the library ostensibly to find a book but in reality to scrape a guiro.
