1st January 1980

wow 1980 ... Happy NEW Year and in this case a happy new decade back then.

The good news is I found my 1980 diary, the bad news it is not complete for the whole of 1980 ... drat!!

So I will have to see how my blog progresses during the next few months .. I need to do some research into the early 80s because to be honest I can recall very little of it ... I am sure I will be reminded as I go along about things that I had completely forgotten about.

I was in the last year of college in 1980 and about to sit my A'level exams, I got my first full time job and was at a stage where I wasn't sure how I wanted my career path to go.


Got in from Hixon footy New Years do at 5.00 am
After walking and sliding all the way (oh yes & I was dressed as Charlie Chaplin)
Went over to one of Sam's neighbours for a drink
Went to bed at 6.00 am ... YAWN!!
Got up again at 12.30 feeling pretty dead
Went for a walk round Weston
Then over to Sam's neighbours again for a drink (OMG!!)
Left Sam at the station at 5.30
Got home at 7.20
I am absolutely knackered
Phoned Sam
He was off to the Woolpack
Had a bath & went to bed at 10.30
