Tuesday 2nd September 1969:
Last day of free-dom. John and I went mad. In the morning we
took the record player in the front garden (John’s) and played records. Many
people gave us very funny looks. In the afternoon John and I went chasing after
girls on our bikes. We saw two who we’d seen previously the other day. We
followed. We ended up a close, and the girls went into a house. We went to the
Square, and we saw them again, and followed, until they met a boy. We went to
John’s, and when we went out again, we saw them again, and followed them. Soon
they stopped and one of them turned and said, ‘Go and fuck off!’ We had a good
time. Oh, well, back to school!!
