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

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!

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]

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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)

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!

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?

We're gonna need a bigger van!

All the funnier because so many of them resonate!

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

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.

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.

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!

BradfordLass72 yeah, that's your story

I recently spent some time in hospital and as I was in a lot of pain, used to walk up and down the wards (which adjoined) until the night's medication kicked in.

After one such jaunt I went back to Room 10, now in darkness of course, and got into Bed 3, only to be joined moments later by an elderly man who had been in the en suite bathroom. 'What are you doing in my bed?' he asked.

I blamed the morphine as I scuttled back to the right ward.

Around this time last year dh and I went off for a concert he'd booked at the Festival Hall.
We found what was supposed to be the right auditorium, but there was no audience, just what looked like a rehearsal going on.

So we asked a couple of staff members who were passing, who checked our tickets.
Er, it was the right day and month - but the wrong year!! 2019, not 2018.
The (young!) staff had a good laugh with us, but I dare say they were thinking, 'Poor old things, it's a shame....'.

Still, we had a nice drink at the riverside bar, and a Thames-side walk before heading home. And thanks to the good old Freedom Pass, we hadn't even wasted train fares.

(All entirely dh's fault, of course, since he was the one who'd booked the tickets and put it in his diary!).

Me too!

I am in tears of laughter ?

Very funny guys...I am in tears now lol

My OH is taking part in research at the Memory Clinic,I went along for the run and we said we'd have lunch after his appointment.I sat in the reception area and read through the papers and heard him say goodbye to the receptionist and that he'd see her in a months time....he left .he'd forgotten I was with him .I did catch up with him in the car park and he was very embarassed ..the Memory clinic of all places ...lol
