Day 652

Saw the owner of 2J today as he was let out of solitary to join in the courtyard walk. He caught my eye and mumbled a kind of apology. I told him not to worry, no harm done as it's not my cell. He smiled and I think he'll chat again soon

Day 651

Woke up again in the night.  Thought somebody was in the room with me, but these metal doors make a clang and it wasn't that. Nobody else in the room with me though. Strange.

Day 650

Had to laugh today. As I walked through the open cell door to go on my courtyard walk, I looked up the corridor to see Simon fall out of his office from leaning back on his chair. A few cheers rippled around the corridors after that!

Day 649

Woke up early this morning. The smell of paint is nauseating. Or maybe it was the thought of somebody else's "toilet water" near my bed.

Day 648

Something's different about my old cell. But I can only put it down to the fact it has had a good clean and they've even put a fresh air vent and painted it all over. Duck egg looks ok I guess.

Day 647

Huggy guard came to tell me that I can return to my cell tomorrow. About time too! Mind you, it's been nice to enjoy a change. I wonder if they would do this regularly?

Day 646

Took a walk today and almost went back to my own cell on the route back. Simon corrected me in a hurry, glad he was there or I would have walked straight back into my cell. Silly me.

Day 645

Second day with a different temporary identity. I can just see over the courtyard from here too, but I have to balance on the top of my bed post.

Day 644

Well I must say that the outlook of this cell is a little better. 1D I am for a while until the cell has been cleaned out. Whatever that water was, it stank!

Day 643

Woke up and stepping into a few inches of water in my cell today.  Water was streaming down the walls.  Huggy guard looked shocked and while another guard relocated me, he ran up to see what was happening in the cell above.

Day 642

Had a bad nights sleep last night. Seems that the walls were damper than usual. I’ll try and get to mention it to one of the guards

Day 641

Joe was back in the cells today, he greeted me with a kind of annoyance of a failed plan, and it took all my strength not to allow a wry smile to appear on my face.

Day 640

Was trying to think about those missing pages today. Maybe there was something of importance in there. Why would somebody take just those pages?

Day 639

I spent my day today going through the staff as I made my way through to the courtyard. Maybe I won’t see that face again. Certainly didn’t ring any bells today.

Day 638

Something's niggling me. The other nights dream. Something was familiar. Before here I mean. A face... but I can't picture it again. Somebody here is familiar.
 

Day 637

Had a bad dream last night. Flashes of the days leading up to the trial. I miss them so much. So many details keep flashing before me. I should start making note of them.

Day 636

Simon paid me a visit today unexpectedly when I should have been on my walk. He seemed pleasant enough but there didn't seem much reason to his visit. Probably reinforcing his head guard position again.

Day 635

Huggy guard said he might see if he can look through the logs to see if anything of importance happened to me during that time. Going to have to be careful what I write in future.

Day 634

Told huggy guard about my diary. Its not that I worry about what was written, its the fact that somebody has been through my private things. Mind you, in prison nothing is private.

Day 633

Came back to the cell after my walk, to discover pages missing from my diary. Days 406 to 458 are missing. It was so long ago, I can't remember what was written there, and why it would be of any importance.

Day 632

A lot of excitement among the guards today. Seems like the kitkat men are back. Caught because they missed their train!

Day 631

Managed a walk today. I couldn't wave to my lady as they have blocked off that area of the courtyard. Apparently it was a security dead zone.

Day 630

I skipped my walk today but managed to talk to huggy guard about the kitkat. I've probably blown my chances now for early release.
