Dopey



I am certainly getting more and more like Dopey as I get older. I'm not sure whether my poor brain is over-loaded with things to remember or if it's just lost too many brain cells over the last few years, but I forget so many things these days. I've given up carrying a handbag most of the time because I've left it in too many places. I often find letters half finished or, even worse, folded into their envelopes and left unposted for weeks. I lose my car keys so often that there's now a hook on the ceiling right next to the door so I hang them there before I even take my shoes off (that's not as daft as it sounds when your ceiling is less than a foot above your head).

I think I need to sit down and relax before I forget that I've made coffee otherwise I'll find it later all cold and abandoned....
