fowlbird Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 your age related vexations... Despite what my grandsons say I am not old! Sixty is the new forty isn't it? nevertheless, this morning I: remembered to switch on the radio half way through The Omnibus popped upstairs for something urgent and forgot to go down again until half way through Desert Island Discs... (I was on here ) started peeling veg using my 3 colander system (1 for washed veg, 1 for peeled veg, 1 for peelings/s"Ooops, word censored!"s) then got confused and mixed it all together repeat above by several times went outside to say "Good morning" to the girls then forgot to change from Muckboots to blip blops on re-entering the house the mud will have dried by the time I get round to Dysoning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I forget lots of stuff all the time. I also never read important letters properly and then say I never knew about said important facts. Thats because I have skimmed through them read key bits and gone 'blah blah blah' though the rest. Im 37! I think??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I have decided that my memory brain cells have relocated to my bottom. I have evidence for this. I will be sitting in the lounge and will think of something that I need from the utility room. A few seconds later, I am standing in the utility room with a blank expression on my face. A couple of minutes later, I admit defeat and head back to the lounge. As soon as my bottom hits the sofa, I remember what it is that I went in for!

KimmyCustard Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Definitely catching, I'm a sufferer also. Went in the bathroom yesterday, stood there, couldn't remember what I was going in there for. Came out, sat in front of the telly and remembered I need a wee! (I'm 39 so its not age related!)

fowlbird Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Do you know, I think cold left over roast potatoes are nearly as nice as hot ones don't they legally belong to chickens? I am so glad that I'm not alone in this... even if you are all younger than me! or perhaps because you're all younger than me?

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 No, because I roast my potatoes in goose fat and I'm not sure about the morality of that......... (and anyway they get the leftover veggies - not that there are any left overs, just the extra ones we cook for the chickens ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 GOOSEFAT???? you're not veggie then... isn't it odd that we calculate the chookie portion when we cook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not a veggie (only if I go out for a meal and the meat is not free range!) I never consciously calculate the chookie portion. It just kind of happens. A bit like I never consciously eat a whole box of chocolates at one sitting. It just kind of happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
