31st December, 1981

I know now that maybe I should have written more in this diary...

A Teenage girl growing up in Newry during the Troubles

This was written on 31st Dec 81/1st January 82 @ 1.30. As I have just written on the official last page of my diary, this has been a good year. Sometimes I liked to fill in my diary. Sometimes it has been a nuisance.

I know now that maybe I should have written more in this diary about my most wonderful experience – the school trip. Ethna is now filling in a couple of days in her little-used 81 diary. I left out 13 days in this diary. I'm sorry about that. I also got a couple of weeks mixed up. That was a bit stupid. Well I go now to a new diary. It probably won't be as good as this one […]

That's all.

Time; 24 to 2

Goodnight.
