AUTOBIOGRAPHY : ONE & TWO

ONE.
I like it that my date-of-birth resembles an arithmetical progression. It's easy to remember. ONE. TWO. FOUR. EIGHT. = 1st February 1948 = 1/2/48.

TWO.
The day i was born, in Peartree Nursing Home, Bitterne, three thousand miles away, my cousin, Rosy, was being born in Alexandria. I've always liked it that i have a twin cousin. We now live ten thousand miles apart. i would have last seen her in 1952 - sixty-one years ago! Occasionally i get some news.
