This was the highlight of a week of ups and downs that all ended happily. I seem to spend a lot of my time these days searching for things. Perhaps it is because I can't see at once where I put things or more likely I am just careless. After shopping for some shoes I could not find my debit.card. It was not in my purse I felt convinced it must be in the pocket of my blue jacket.. After fruitless searching' involving A & M, I remembered I was wearing my pink jacket and there it was in the pocket! An even more mysterious affair was the disappearance of my hearing aid. I t vanished from the bedside table. I was in anguish and set the whole house by its ears once again involving A & M who turned the bedroom upside down, moving all the furniture but to no avail. Finally, last night as I opened an almost empty small jar of skin cream which was on my bedside table I heard something rattle and lo and behold there was my hearing aid. It had fallen into the jar. You are never too old to learn. I shall keep this vital aid to living in its box in future!
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.

Enter Baby Jack
Last Friday my first great grandchild was born. Holly sent a picture of Jack. He is a beautiful little boy and why would he be otherwuse with two such good-looking parents. I look forward to meeting him. The birth of one little human being into a happy family never ceases to be the most wonderful, the most delightful and the most miraculous of events.
