Saturday 5
Got up at 8.15
again feeling slightly tired
Shop boss was in a bad mood all morning (I can safely say that I hated that man and I am quite tolerant of folk really but he was the worst of all people I have ever worked for)
Fi met me for lunch
Worked in the London Street shop all afternoon
= different I suppose
Phoned Sam from Southport station (ahh the days of using telephone kiosks!)
He was dead sociable .. honest ! (a hint of sarcasm maybe?)
Phoned him again at 1/2 7
He wasn't too chatty then either
Oh well can't be helped!
He was off to the Woolpack - surprise, surprise
Knitted & watched TV all night
Went to bed at 11.00
Got paid £22.30

Tidied my bedroom all day - phew what a job (hee hee remember this when I am nagging teen to tidy hers)
Did some knitting
Mum did the rib for the front
Phoned Sam

Last night he went to a concert

Bed at 11.45 pm
**********************************
This weekend I came across a couple of 1980s high class magazines I knew that were lurking in the loft. They cost me £1.50 a piece back then so no wonder I kept them lol One is Mode Avantgarde and the other Avantgarde International. I have did a quick search to see if they are still printing them and only came across a couple for sale from the late 70s on an auction site for £12 each
I have not had time to study them fully but this fashion statement for men really impressed me :-)

So glad you decided to push on into the 80's! Huzzah!!
Looking at that zine cover, I think I may have actually owned those pants at one time or another...
I don't want to go anywhere near a man wearing a "pumpkin shaped blouson"
I've never heard of Mode Avantgarde - thank heavens.
"He was dead sociable .. honest ! (a hint of sarcasm maybe?)" not sarcasm - surprise I reckon - miserable sod. [I know you read this 'Sam' - I hope you're ashamed of yourself - tee hee]
oh Rev... men in straight legged pants is sooo wrong ... thank goodness you are all grown up now ;-)
don't know about pumkin blousons NM....the guy on the left is pretty scary in his robotic get up .....
oh DP you will be getting me into bother when I next meet up with Sam..lol
Those chaps look like extras from Star Trek...
Now, you be careful today - it's very icy ...... we don't want you having a tumble and having to have a few days off work ........
