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.

Spectators
Didn't we do well? as one TV quiz host used to say. A remarkable three weeks. My family have been doing their bit going to London to watch various events. A was one of 81,000 spectators at Wembley to watch the football. All the competitors were very good but the spectators cheered, sang, jumped up and down and were magnificent !! My grandson has been so often as spectator adding to the general euphoria that I think he should do a Lap of Honour ! My contribution has been to cheer on TeamGB from my armchair. Although I swam well into my eighties I can no longer run, jump or do anything more athletic than walk to the shops. My PB for going to the Post Office, the Coop and Boots is 55 minutes. (I must try to improve on that). Life's a struggle. This morning I think I deserve a gold medal for putting on my socks !!
