On Tuesday I went for my monthly scan at the Eye Hospital and sadly yesterday had a phone call to say I had to have another injection! I shouln't grumble but it is not very nice. However it is over now and as a consolation prize Mike bought me an enormous cream slice which I have just eaten with my afternoon cup of tea. Such guilty indulgence!!
Going back to the lady who hoped to meet me at the Memorial ceremony - we did meet. We had both watched a programme on TV called "Bomber Boys". She wrote to the Radio Times magazine to say her uncle had been shot down in Denmark in 1943 ,as had my husband. So I wrote her a letter and asked the Editor of the magazine to send it on which he kindly did. We have since been e mailing each other and she said she would be with her cousin at the ceremony and gave me her mobile phone number. What an amazing thing is the mobile phone (except for some occasions when it is a minor irritant such as the middle of a concert or on a train when we are all treated to someone else's grisly details). We three met and life is full of coincidences - we all three were once called Miss Ellis !!!

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.
