The last couple of weeks have been slightly surreal, I don't think I have been thinking very clearly about things. One day I returned to my car - parked in the field outside the Museum, and I just could not remember where I had parked it. I had to walk up and down the rows clicking my key fob till I heard the doors unlock. Three days later I returned to another car park, and this time went straight to the car, opened the passenger door and slung my bag into the footwell. Then absent-mindedly I climbed in and was about to put on my seatbelt when I realised the steering wheel was on the other side! I had to scuttle round before anyone noticed.
I have a sewing project in mind, and needed supplies. I complained to Bob "I went through all the craft baskets in the Charity Shop, and I could only
see two invisible zips" He couldn't stop laughing.
For six weeks I have been looking for my bottle of M&S perfume. "I haven't seen it since we were last in Manchester" I said. When I fetched my cabin bag down from the loft on Friday morning, I found not only my perfume but clean teeshirts and underwear, and my missing baseball hat. Fortunately the bag of dirty laundry had been dealt with on our return, but clearly I didn't empty the case before I put it away!
I thought our flu jabs were this week. But last Thursday, enjoying a lazy breakfast in our pjs, Bob looked at his phone, and announced we needed to be at the surgery in 10 minutes time!! We dressed Very Very fast, and walked round to get our shots.
Despite all those crazy errors, I did manage to get from Cornerstones to Steph's house and back without any crises en route!
I can empathise with your experiences-I I sometimes say to people that my brain is too full. My all time faux pas is when I phoned Norrie to say that I thought my car had been stolen from the town centre car park. His reply was that my car was on the drive-I had walked to town for the exercise! Catriona
ReplyDeleteAt least you had the sense to phone him first. Imagine the embarrassment if you had called the Police! 🤣🤣🤣
DeleteThere are days, weeks even, when I need a full-time minder.
ReplyDeleteI expect one needs special spectacles, maybe the ones Esmé wears for 'Sewing Bee' to spot invisible zips?
😂😂😂
DeleteSounds like something I would do, walk around looking for my car! I'm glad you made it to Manchester and back without any mishaps. :)
ReplyDeleteThe return train was very delayed [not my fault] so i will get compensation for that.
DeleteI was more often a passenger rather than driver for nearly 40 years so often opened the passenger door first when I became the driver!
ReplyDeleteColin also always knew where we had parked on a car park and I've had to learn to always look and check - especially at the big boot sale!
Big events parking in fields are the hardest, there are fewer markers to establish where you are.
DeleteSuch a relief to know that even someone as well organised as you can do crazy things!
ReplyDeleteEven Superman struggled with kryptonite. 🦸♂️ .None of us is perfect!
