I check on my neighbour who is 78 everyday. She had a fall and is at the mercy of carers from an agency. She has to pay for the shoddy service as well as she is over the threshold. Anyway it was interesting talking to her about the war this evening and her school days and rationing. She can remember getting her sweets rationed and queing up for penny buns at break times. I did'nt know they had pomegranates in Britain that early on. I thought they came from abroad.

Your neighbour's lucky to have you. What interesting memories! I'm surprised about the pomegranate too.

She was good to me when I was ill in 2008/09. Went with me to a lot of medical appts. She has a good family network but the nearest live about 45 mins away. They check her the weekends. I think she will have to move now as this is the second fall from the stairs. Second time she has missed the last step. She does not want to leave though as she has lived here 50 years and lots of memories with her husband etc.
She is 78 and I am 48 but its like I am talking to someone my age. So age is irrelevant. She says she feels middle aged not old and that is how I see her. But her age hit home when I took her to see Englebert Humperdink at the Royal Albert Hall. Most people were there with their zimmer frames.

I used a netbook for years and it took some getting used to moving to a large laptop.
