Come to think of it...I think it was on the old forum!
Well that's well beyond my memory span now.
Typical example: Working at the computer, decide I need refreshment, I go downstairs to make a brew, put kettle on, while it's heating the water I get bored, remember an urgent task, nip upstairs to do it, forget the kettle, eMail comes in, I reply to eMail, forget the urgent task, remember something else I needed to do, check clock, lunchtime; go to make lunch, remember the brew I hadn't made, boil water again and so on. It's no fun getting older on your own, unsupervised, need to keep busy.
Yet I can remember minute detail of some stuff even going back to childhood. Things like car reg numbers, key numbers, even telephone numbers from when I was six. I can list the function of almost every Lucas car wire colour code from memory. Yet I go downstairs and forget what I went for. I think part of the problem is that while I am going downstairs my mind runs riot thinking through 'schemes and projects' and gets diverted. I need to remain focussed.
