Saturday, 20th November, 1971
Today
was probably the best day of the year.
Being a Saturday alone is cause to
celebrate, but that was only for starters!
I collected my pay from Pamela Baird
- always a good moment. I just kind of glided through the paper round - the
reason being that I was already looking forward and planning for my first
'official' date with Shona (Smith).
We were going out to the cinema to see 'The Go-Between'.
Being out early made for quite a long day, but it gave me plenty of time to
plan ahead and get myself organised. I wanted to look my very best subject of
course to the limitations of my haircut, which is the only cloud on the
horizon. I wore my new pair of Levi's, my Ben Sherman shirt and my parka.
I collected Shona from 26/5 Firhill Crescent and then we took a number 16 bus
in to town.
It was a really successful evening - better than I could have hoped
for.

The film was really good, but I perhaps enjoyed it more than
Shona.
When I'd been planning out the evening
you're never quite sure how it might pan out, but everything went brilliantly.
Afterwards we got a bus home from Morningside no problem.
I felt like I was in
a dream walking Shona home along the burn and back to Firhill Crescent. She
invited me in and we sat in watching the telly and talking with her mum 'n
dad. I managed to converse okay with them, trying not to commit any faux-pas’
- I think I managed!
They're dead nice and even thoughtfully went off to
bed shortly before I left. I
didn’t get home until 12.30 a.m. I got a row for being out late but I wasn't bothered!
I'm off to bed now to dream about Shona.
