half-way through mowing the lawn I lost the grass-box. You will not be shocked and surprised to learn that it was clipped to the back of the lawnmower. |

When I can't remember why I've gone into a room, I do say out loud *and I have come in here because* and that generally triggers the reason. Word finding- i often confuse iron and kettle |

Lol JC! WA: the threshold effect is common, going out and coming back in again also often triggers the memory |

Went to make gravy yesterday with granules and poured the water in from the kettle to realise I hadn’t boiled the kettle. Today on leaving my work I was looking for my phone in my handbag to text my DiL and couldn’t find it only to see I already had it in my hand. Think my holiday next week can’t come quick enough

Reaching the top of a hill on my bike, I put it into top gear and found no resistance in the pedal. I thought the chain must have come off. Stopped: chain was properly on. Set off again and found I could pedal to get going, but in seconds there was no resistance again. Stopped. Looked closely. I had put it into bottom gear, not top. During this incident I had already worried about this week's WSW; whether I could come home on the bus covering my face with my hat rather than a proper thing; the number of actually useful errands I do on my bike; what sort of bike I would get if it couldn't be repaired, and how long I might have to wait for a repair. |

[That’s not an uncommon occurrence for me either Chris. The gear thing, not the others]

Made filter coffee for the electrician who is (hopefully) on his way. Forgot the coffee. Does anyone want a lovely pot of hot water? |
