Well the excitement, dressing up and feasting for the family wedding and theDiamond Jubilee is over and it is back to" old clothes and porridge" as the Scots say. Went today to the Eye Hospital for my monthly scan and today the Chiropodist comes. How mundane!
What weather we are having. Last night there was a gale and today the trees are still being blown madly about yet sitting having my lunch in the conservatory the sun was quite hot and it was very pleasant. Driving back home along the seafront the sea came roaring in, wave after wave topped with white foam. It was very exciting.
I am still enjoying listening to my audio books. I have just requested another list of titles. So marvellous and all done by volunteers. The fiction books are usually read by actors and it is wonderful to hear them switch from one voice to another, from one accent to another. Scottish, Irish, American, German so effortlessly
One piece of marvellous news. The Queen and other members of the Royal family are to be present at the unveiling of the Bomber Command Memorial. Did I say before that I am going to get tickets. There were thousands of applications so I have been lucky..

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.
