Dear Diary,

After spending most of the day thinking about what to say to Michael re writing to Alan, it was a great relief when he went home without mentioning the subject at all.  Maybe it was for the best that he didn’t because I still don’t know what to say or, which is more important, what to do.

I knew Michael was to go on holiday with his parents soon but tonight I found out the dates – the 6^th to 13^th May. That means he will be away for my birthday.  I must have looked disappointed when he told me as he offered to take me to see the film ‘South Pacific’ as a birthday present.  A terrific idea.  I was very pleased.
