I read that once, about things called "nosegays" - they were full of flowers and spices, to put to ones nose when encountering the rather unsavoury things of life! Such as the state of the streets, the plumbing, (lack of!) and other people, LOL!!! Good to hear about your lovely morning, dibnlib. It sounds great. hope we can see a pic of little Buddy some time. I went to do the weeks shop, then after a quick coffee, spent the rest of the morning rushing about, trying to find confirmation that we will be able to go to Wales shortly (not in evidence at the time) and beginning to pack bags etc. We had a quick lunch too, but it was only after we had eaten it and I was clearing away that I realised with a sunken heart that my OH had completely forgotten that today was the funeral of an old golfing friend and that although they would not be able to attend the funeral, too many people, obviously, they had decided that they would line the street in tribute as the hearse left his home. That was to be at 12.15. When I realised he had missed it, it was 1.15pm .... oh dear. He is upset, and I think that mostly he is just cross with himself for forgetting. I had it marked on the calendar and at breakfast time we had discussed having a late lunch after he had been there.
Lindybird: I hope your OH doesn't feel too bad - I'm finding these kinds of glitches seem to be popping up everywhere. I think we're all so preoccupied adjusting to what is and what isn't 'normal' that we - I anyway - seem to be quite distracted.....
dibnlib: A day full of simple pleaures then... :-)
Diane/Heather: We get two health newsletters, once of which was touting the benefits for knees of keeping those quads nice and strong.
Painters busy in my room; am going to get some oranges off the tree.....
Saw an item in the NYT this morning that referred to The Deadly Delusions of Mad King Donald.
ANNETTE: I hope Lindy's OH doesn't beat himself up about it, too. I was thinking exactly the way you are.
I've always been fairly high functioning, organized, and quick thinking. Right now, I can't remember anything. I'm needing to use my computer to remind me of everything. And I can't seem to think through the most mundane life issues. I get overwhelmed. All I can manage to do is focus on one task at a time, and that may or may not get done. Usually not. I just want to hibernate until 2020 is over.
LINDY: You can show your OH this post if it will help him.
Latest Swallow chick action in my shed N.W Scotland. At least 4 in there I think!
