The Diary of a Nobody

Nearly Christmas. I don’t know why, but it makes me reflect back on things. The last few weeks of my diary haven’t been very interesting. Lupin’s break up with Daisy seems to have transformed him overnight, and it’s become a bit of a strain being with Carrie. Last Saturday, she was really down, so I thought I’d cheer her up by reading her some extracts from my diary. She walked out in the middle, without saying a word. When she came back in, I said “Darling, was it boring for you?"She replied, “Sorry, I don’t think I was listening. I had to ring Anya. She put a red t-shirt in with a white wash, and now Lupin’s white shirts have gone pink, so he won’t wear them”.
I said “It’s all about Lupin. Lupin, Lupin, Lupin. Yesterday, there was a button missing from one of my cuffs, but did I make a song and dance about it?”
Carrie just said, “If you had any sense of style, you’d wear cufflinks”.
Something else occurs to me: Gowing doesn’t call much, and Cummings never does now. I’m worried they don’t get on with Lupin.

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.
