Salyut

At one I went to Lee’s. It was another incredibly hot day.

Five of us booted a ball around on the playing fields before Steven Holdsworth, Kevin Dunville and co (all ex- Lodgehill Middle) turned up and asked us if we wanted a game. We played five-a-side and soon discovered they are really good, Steven Holdsworth especially; he's fast and pretty hard and in no time at all we were 4-1 down, then 4-2, then 5-2 and so on, until after half an hour we trailed 10-6. Then everyone gradually wandered off and I sauntered home and read the latest issue of Spaceflight about Salyut 6/Soyuz 29-37 or watched TV.

Totally cloudless sunset.
