Virginia coming up to 88

Virginia coming up to 88
My friend Virginia spends all her days now in a care home. She still
enjoys books and I try to bring her another each visit I make. She's
completing her re-survey of Dickens novels right now, so I brought
"Our Mutual Friend" the day I took this picture. I have a copy of
"Dombey and Son" to bring her in a few days. I think she read them
all when she was younger, but she's enjoying them again now. She's a
bit shocked at the carers and other visitors who don't even know who
Dickens was.

We were recording when I took this picture. You can see my little
Edirol R-09 by the coffee cups, aimed at her. Her memos to herself
about what to tell me are in the notebook on top of Our Mutual Friend.

She will be 88 in a couple of weeks.

This was another fairly well exposed picture in the Ricoh Elnica 35M,
on 2002-expired Fuji 200 film, shot at about 100.

Formica has particularly liked this photo
