This page contains the only entry from my paper diary for September 1975.  It was
	    entered on 14 April 2017.  Items in italics, like this, were added
	    at this time.  
	
      
      
    
    
      
      
	And so I write in here again.  I don't suppose it has much point, but on the other hand it
	may bring back some subtle faded memory when I read it in possibly 10 years time,
      
      
        
          For large values of 10.  I don't think I read it at all until 2017.
        
      
      
	just as I renewed a by-no-means so faded memory  just now
	by reading what I did 10 years ago.
      
      
        
          I'm guessing that this was exactly 10 years prior.  Interestingly, when I followed the
          link, I found it had been visited recently.
        
      
      
	I could hardly expect the next 10 years to bring as much change as the last; form my first
	serious love affair (which, for want of understanding, I blew; if I were now or in the
	future to blow my relationship with Doris, it
	would be lack of patience rather than understanding) to where I am now, married, even
	halfway aufgeklärt, successful, out-of-place systems analyst.  And what is it to think about
	this, to write about it?  Maybe it will have some effect, but I can't imagine what sort.
      
        
   
 
  
  
      
    Do you have a comment about something I have written?  This is a diary, not a
	  “blog”, and there is
	  deliberately no provision for directly adding comments.  It's also not a vehicle
      for third-party content.  But I welcome feedback and try to
	  reply to all messages I receive.  See the diary overview for more details.  If you do
	  send me a message relating to something I have written, please indicate
	  whether you'd prefer me not to mention your name.  Otherwise
	  I'll assume that it's OK to do so.
