I have always thought that you had an enormous load writing your blog every day, and now you tell us that you write a diary every day as well. How do you find the time. Your day job must be very relaxing! Perhaps you are a copy writer for Transport in London!

If I didn't know you, you'd scare me.
Actually...

So the people you are meeting this week for those 2 drunken nights out....they will be recorded as an event...or a non event as the case may be. No pressure people!
Happy 2007 DG- I hope you have a good year.

That's a very impressive achievement.
I've written a diary since I was a teenager as well, but there are many days left blank when I've forgotten or been too lazy to write stuff. There are also a couple of periods of a year or two that I stopped, but otherwise fairly complete.
It is quite scary sometimes to read back an old entry and it all comes to life very quickly.
Happy New Year DG. Here's to another 30 years of your diary.

Wow, the Puffin Club. There's a blast from the past. I still have my badge...
I write a diary on and off but I don't buy an actual diary - just an A5 notebook, black and red for preference. That way the missing days don't look quite so accusatory

I had a Puffin Club diary as well, a few years before you. Like all the other diaries I was given, I never made it past January...

But you said you'd written five million words 2 years ago. I demand a recount

I started a diary when I was a teenager.
It lasted about two weeks.

I started a diary in 1964. My entry for Jan 4 reads: Very slack at work. Was on time. PM by coach to Finsbury Park. Show was fab especially the Beatles. Chinese restaurant afterwards - had to leave half eaten as late for coach. Not home until 2.30.
I'm not sure in retrospect which struck me as most memorable at the time: getting in for my Saturday job at Woolworth's on time; seeing the Beatles; eating what was almost certainly my first Chinese meal; or getting home after midnight. I also didn't record the name of the poor sap who paid for the tickets - and I can't recall it now.

Para 6 worries me... because it sums up my diary habit a bit too much for my liking! I've been keeping a diary since 1988, haven't missed a day and could tell you the weather/temp for any day since then, along with what I did that day. I couldn't tell you why I've kept a diary without fail all this time though...
And for the past 15 years, I've made a note of every UK no1 single - truly worrying stuff indeed : )

But my handwriting is too awful to even read the grocery list I wrote 10 minutes ago...
I keep all the emails I send. I've got about 5 year's worth by now. That's about as close to a diary as I can manage.

Happy diary birthday. I've only been doing mine for 7½ years, so I'm a newbie by comparison.

As a mere part-time, non-computer owning, extremely amateurish blogger I find your revelations that you keep a diary as well as this huge blog amazing!
I bet when you were at school you were the kid who was always picked first for the kickabouts in the playground, you lucky bastard!

Unlike you I've never kept a diary as such, but like one of the commenters above (John) I have kept every single email that I ever sent or received since around 1994. I can't bring myself to delete any of it - because it is my knowledge base; my life story since then, albeit biased towards my work, but still represents so much about what I did and what I have learned. Happy New Year to you Diamond Geezer!

Yes, and who are the two lucky blog maidens or devils you are meeting this week?
Very impressed about the diary dilligence. But in 2007 get thee to a pub

Er, I am absolutely amazed and jealous. Please tell me your daily diary entry is: woke up, wrote blog, took me all day, ignored offer to go out, went to bed?

You're an unusual person, dg. But you already know that. With your brains, you could so easily have turned into a weird loner. I'm glad you didn't. And now you have hundreds of online friends who care about what happens to you.
