I have been lost in the mists of forgetfulness for years. One time, IN MY TWENTIES, I had to look on my birth certificate to see how to spell my middle name (I was adrift between "Neil" and "Neal").
I do that all the time. I walk into a room and simply stand there. I know there is a reason for being in the room - I might have even climbed the stairs for that reason. I stand there totally baffled and not quite sure what to do next. Sometimes I pick up my iPad, open it and then stare at the screen, and I've forgotten what I was about to look up. Sx

PS I'm certain that your commercial jingles would be very different to the ones I remember from my childhood.
I couldn't remember how old I was the other day. However, I think that was down to disbelief/denial rather than old age.

PS You'll forever be younger than me, dear...

I've been sitting here all day, thinking...
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone Scarlet, it has something to do with walking under lintels its called the doorway effect makes you temporary forget things.
