Being me takes twice as long as it used to.
I walk into the kitchen – why am I there?
First, open the fridge door. No clues there.
The oven? No.
The washing machine? No.
The dishwasher? No.
Was I going to make a cup of tea? Just made one; so, no.
Is there something in this pile of mail I was going to deal with? No. I move to the middle of the room and think hard.
Ah, got it. I meant to go upstairs. I trip up the stairs . . . gosh they squeak (my knees not the stairs) and stare blankly around . . . why am I here? What happened to that incisive mind?
I think I might have left it in the sitting room . . .
