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.

Geography
Had a discussion yesterday about the whereabouts of Slovenia where one of my friends has gone. I could not decide whether it was part of what was Yugoslavia or Czechoslovakia. Another coincidence A had an e mail brochure yesterday from Slovakia, part of the old Czechoslovakia so conclude Slovenia is part of what was Yugoslavia. What with all the "Stans" that the Soviet Union has split into I no longer know where anything is. I can't see to read my Atlas, all so confusing. I wish progress would stand still for a minute so that I can catch up.
