Diary has been 1989 not 1992!

Well, I have been getting this diary business all wrong. My apologies. I now realise that the entries I have been transcribing date from three years earlier, 1989! For what I have established now is that one diary red notebook lasted several years. I should have seen this!

In that I was aiming to reflect the year just twenty years ago, and the year of her death, I have got it all wrong.  But the entries in all other respects have been accurate transcriptions, for the days in question. Now the decision is: do I revert to what I had intended and make those from now 1992? Or do I just plough on, for the year 23 years ago?

Rosemary Sutcliff listed what she called ‘assorted’ titles in her own hand in her blue record book ( a Challenge notebook!).

April 22nd, Friday. Gleamy sun but not not such a lovely day as yesterday. Feeling a bit weary but also refreshed after the break.
