The Diary of a Nobody
Being the modern day record of Charles

Spent the whole of the afternoon in the garden, having picked up a fantastic book by Alan Titchmarsh which was on offer in Waterstones. I got some half-hardy annuals at Notcutts, and sowed them in a border on the sunny side of the garden. I thought of a joke, and called to Carrie. She came out looking rather irritated. “Do you know what – this place is a public school”. She said “What are you talking about?” and I said “Look at the boarders”. Carrie said “Eh?” I said “Look at the boarders.” Carrie said “Is that all you wanted me for?” I said “Normally you’d laugh at a little joke like that.” Carrie said “Normally, yes, but not when I’m busy in the house”.The stairs look nice. Gowing called and said they looked all right but it now made the other side (the outside bit facing the hall) look all wrong. He said it needed painting as well. Carrie agreed. I rang Putley, but there was no reply. I’ll take steps to get it seen to later. Come to think of it, that’s quite funny.

Why shouldn’t
I publish
my diary?
I often see memoirs by people I’ve never even heard of and I don’t see why my diary should be any less interesting, just because I’m not a ‘celebrity’. I only wish I’d started it when I was younger.
