I have just received a book from the Calibre Audio Library. This is a charity that posts cassettes, MP3s or memory sticks to anyone who has difficulty reading print. The service is completely free but they do rely on donations.fund-raising events and the work of dedicated volunteers, so that is on my small list of charities from now on.
Don't expect to see a blog for a while as this book is "Francis Kilvert's Diaries" with 16 hours of reading!
When I worked at the Home Office Aliens Department in 1945/6 next door to the Old Bailey Central Criminal Court I enrolled at the City Literary Institute for a Literature course. The subject was "English Diarists" and I have been an avid reader of journals and diaries ever since.

Ramblings of a nonagenerian (vintage 1923). Grew up in Lambeth in the 20s and 30s. Lived and worked in London during World War II. I have been attempting to do the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword since 1939! (My daughter says I *have* to write this, but I am troubled as it sounds so conceited.) I bought my first computer aged 85 and am continually frustrated by the vagaries of the technological age.
