The Men in White coats are coming for me soon [confused] there's room in the van for a few more!

BradfordLass72 yeah, that's your story

I opened a kitchen cupboard last week to get a baking dish out, and discovered a strange Pyrex dish (other makes are available) on the shelf. I have no recollection of buying a new dish, and no-one has been round bearing goodies in it - it has just appeared......it’s definitely not an old one I’d forgotten about as I only keep 3 or 4 dishes on that shelf and use them all the time. Very strange.....it is rather nice though!

When I went to visit my H in hospital yesterday, two members of the nursing staff said they had assumed they hadalready met me.
The wife of the man in the next bed had sat by my H and was talking to him.
H has dementia so he wouldn't have a clue anyway.
The man in the next bed sat watching and smiling.
I will put her name down for the van.

At my reading group last night I apologised to my friend for forgetting to take back a book she hadn’t lent me. I felt better when she then proceeded to thank me for recommending a book I’ve never read.

If anyone’s missing a copy of Jo Nesbo’s Devil’s Star, I’ll have it with me when I get in the van.

Oh stop it, please ???????

All the funnier because so many of them resonate!

We're gonna need a bigger van!

GreenGran by my calculations it will need to be a fleet of vans. My first offer still stands, I am happy to drive one of the vans provided it is not too large but I cannot guarantee where we will end up. Maybe stop off somewhere for refreshments- the Ritz or the Savoy?

Sounds good to me Charleygirl. When the bill arrives we will have all forgotten to bring any money. With luck they will say, "Poor old souls!", and let us off paying!

Maggie The "Jo Nesbo" is on the first bus under the next to last seat, pass it on when you have read it please

I have now hired a Fleet of double decker busses I am afraid these don't have "toilet facilities" so you will have to make your own arrangements Im afraid, (there will be a supply of weshee bottles)

There are a few reclining seats (no fighting girls/grandads)

Thanks, bikergran! Though I think we’d all better rein ourselves in at the bottomless Prosecco afternoon tea if there aren’t any toilets onboard. It’ll be devil take the hindmost when we get to the services for a comfort break.

Merlot: Odd - I too was sure Pancake Day was a week earlier than it was, this year. I’ve never done that before.
I think I was mislead by shops having special displays so long before the day!

Mislaid train ticket, looked everywhere. Went to station and had one last search before giving up and buying another. Of course it was in my handbag.
A couple of days later, ready to go to hospital appointment, I couldn’t find my switched off phone. It was in the pocket of the coat I was wearing.

Put porridge to cook in microwave, bowl ready for it on worktop, made a cup tea while listening to the news on the radio, took porridge out of microwave and poured it into the cup of tea. It does make a mess!

I do talks at two hospital. Did not check my diary last week. Right day, wrong hospital!

DS and I get a bit competitive about how many steps we clock up on our MiFits. I’ve been falling behind a bit so DH and I went out for a 5 mile walk today, most of it uphill. Feeling tired but virtuous, I went to the bathroom when we got back and saw my MyFit sitting on the windowsill. It’s on my wrist now - apparently I’ve walked 278 steps today.

Couldn't find my bag of mix salad today (new bag unopened)
Found it later in the microwave so I had a lettuce less salad for tea {rolls eyes]

The other day a lovely casserole dish came into the charity shop i run. i proceeded to tell my partner about it and added its an agfa one! i actually meant aga!
