I sometimes borrow my Good Lady's mobile so I can phone mine because I've put mine down and cant find it.
I did that this week. Got in the car and 100 yards down the road found my vision was fuzzy so thought, "Bugger, I've left my glasses at home", reversed back and as I got out of the car realised I was wearing them and they'd just misted up.My better half was looking for her glasses this morning, despite the fact that she was wearing them.
I have rebuilt an older roadbike with friction downtube shifters, and fitted the chain and gear cables this morning. I wanted to thread the chain big front to small at the back to get the length right so to make it easy I connected the front mech cable to allow me to move the mech over the big chainwheel. It all went smoothly and only took a few minutes to fit the cable and join the chain. Then I came to fit the rear derailleur cable but was unable to get it positioned correctly under the bottom bracket to run along the chain stay. It actually took me a few minutes to realise I had put the front cable on the right hand lever and was trying to fit the rear derailleur cable on the left hand lever.
When I consider how many times on so many bikes I have fitted new cables and have never had that problem before I am seriously considering at 67 years old the current state of my mental acuity.
I put the plastic ball down somewhere yesterday and now can't find it!Once put cat biscuits in the washing machine powder drawer, what a bl***y mess!
Just use liquid now in the plastic ball thingy.

We did have a collection, started buying those awful pillow things, moved house and threw the balls away. For the first time in years that was our only ball!That's why I have a collection of them.
I'm forever forgetting why I went to a room or picked up my phone or laptop. I find it quite scary when I think of something I need to do, pick up my laptop and open the lid and promptly forget what I wanted to do. If I don't make a list before going shopping I will forget something.
I use a list on my phone. I tick things off as I get them and make sure everything's ticked before going to the checkout. If I don't do that I will forget something.Even with a list I sometimes forget things.

My sister told me that one last week when I told her that I thought I was losing my marbles. (Having first made it clear to me that I had always been short of marbles, so that was nothing new ...The best explanation I have heard is that forgetting where the car keys are is normal old age, not remembering what the car keys are for is a sign of dementia
