Well this sure has been a day for losing your memory.....forgetting more like it! Was called out on a job, which happened to be near where we both lived in my early 20s, and he all his younger life. So we took the opportunity on our way back home to "relive" memories of how it used to be - when the roundabout was built, where the clock once stood in the town, what the bus fare was from A to B, where I lived, where he lived, on and on as we drove down the motorway only to realise that we had left something behind!
Whoops, which meant we had to come off the motorway at the next exit, find which lane we should be in to get back on the opposite side! Except we took the wrong turning and ended taking an extra half hour to end up back to where we started, picked up the item and got back on the same motorway home!
If that wasn't enough. we visit the local DIY on Wednesdays because we get discount for being over 60. He says "Have I got the list?" - Yes I say. "Have I got the car keys" - Yes I say. And so on our way we go with a heated debate how we want the bathroom to look........and within yards of getting to the store - I said "did you bring the discount card" - He says "No - I thought you had it".
So back home we go.......thank goodness it is only 5 miles....... Our intention was to buy the wall tiles for the new bathroom. When we arrive at the store I said "Did you measure the bathroom walls, how many boxes of tiles do we need?". He says "I thought you were going to measure the walls"!!!!!
So after all that we came away with just a couple small items.......
At least this morning I did remember to paint the risers on the stairs....now the next stage is to paint the treads.....just hope it is a better day tomorrow....
