Keeping a diary is difficult. I noticed a long time ago that I am more likely to make an entry in my diary on days when very little actually happens, days when I don't really do very much.

Yesterday I spent hours in the garden cutting the tree cuttings down to a reasonable length to tie into bundles ready for the kommune to collect. That's not an especially noteworthy event but it is noticeably different from most days; so why didn't I write it up? It's not as if I didn't have time.

Strange really, or is it? Do others behave the same way? How does one succeed in creating a diary keeping habit?

Downhill from the grazing mowers is the fountain that always reminds me of the title sequence of the Champions

Of course the Veritas Park fountain is much smaller

And Alexandra Bastedo was much prettier

@ninalanyon The Champions, that takes me back. And yet again reminding myself that the theme song wasn't Avenues and Alleyways sung by Tony Christie! Why that mistaken memory has stuck in my head I don't know.
Nb Yes, I do remind myself it was the theme song for The Protectors.

@22Michelle By 1972 my television watching had declined rather. That was the the beginning of the lower sixth for me which meant more concentration on schoolwork and we had moved to the centre of town which meant an extra half an hour walk to school. That together with hobbies meant I had little time for television and I don't remember The Protectors at all!

@ninalanyon To be honest I don't remember much, apart from the theme song, either.
