Similar Florence. :-)

Sometimes when I'm talking at home here to daughter, I stop mid sentence, but my mind jumps forward to the next thing I'm going to say and I start thinking about that instead.
There have been several occasions when she's said ..
" ....and are you going to finish that sentence, Mum ? "

The worst one is when you find yourself halfway on the stairs and can't remember if you were going up or down!

:-D :-D :-D Gwyn

Daughter is only 25 and she says she has senior moments, so I said don't be daft at your age they are surely "Junior moments" Maybe I invented that unless anyone else has heard of that expression before?

Maybe we all need more daytime naps.

News report today seems to think it helps the brain by delaying aging.

I should be getting younger by the day ;-) :-D

I hate walking into a room and forgetting what I have gone in there for.

Walk out again, and hey presto, I remember. :-S :-S :-D

That is what mine was like, hubby broke it up and put it out for the birds, they have eaten it all up.

I confess that I have done that as well, the result was akin to a house brick
