I am terribly unobservant. Nothing to do with age in my case

Many years ago I had a boyfriend who grew a moustache. I wasn't keen but was polite initially.

Then one day I gave in and told him I absolutely hated his moustache. He wanted to keep it. Much grumbling.

One evening we were out for a meal and he kept looking at me oddly. Sort of expectantly. Wobbling his head around.

I asked him what on earth he was doing and in the end he pointed to the spot where the hated moustache had been. Hadn't noticed it had gone.

People have new kitchens, new cars, make changes and to me it means nothing. Never notice.

However I can spot a crooked picture a mile off.

Years and years ago I had a colleague with full beard etc.
One day i went in and said “oh Andy you’ve grown a moustache,”. He had in fact just shaved the beard off……

Time flies when you’re having fun. Also as you get older. I assume she is getting on in years?

I have had some blinds fitted at the windows at the front of my house.
On Wednesday a friend called to drop something off and she admired the blinds but said she loved the new bay window I had had installed.
It was fitted 22 years ago and she is a regular visitor.
