The Diary of a Nobody

The past five or six weeks of my diary have disappeared from the “My Documents” folder. It’s a nightmare! When I bought the computer at PC World, I made a point of choosing one with a large hard drive, so I’d have plenty of space for my files.I asked Carrie if she knew anything about it. She said it was my own fault for leaving the computer on all day with all and sundry wandering about, including Anya (the cleaner). I said that wasn’t an answer to my question (pretty smart of me, I think). It would have had a bit more impact if I hadn’t knocked a vase off the table at the same time. It smashed.
Carrie got really upset: it was one of a pair we’d had given to us as a wedding present by Mrs Burtsett, an old friend of her cousins (the Pommertons) in Dalston, and there was no way we’d be able to replace it. I rang the technical support people at PC World who were completely useless and asked if I’d been making regular backups (which I hadn’t). Noticed in my internet history that various Polish sites had been visited recently. So someone Polish has clearly been using my machine. I shall have to speak to Anya when she’s here next.

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.
