Oh, Well

I walked up to Tesco- in the ice and snow (at one point having to cling to a drainpipe to stop myself slipping and hitting the deck) with the intention of buying eggs for lunch. I bought veggies for the rabbits, a packet of croissants, some cream- and completely forgot about the eggs. Was my short-term memory always this bad?

I've just switched the telly on to watch Federer play Murray in the Australian Open. I was looking to bask in some cheery Antipodean sunshine but- of course- they're playing at night.

It probably isn't bad- just typical bloke going shopping! :op

Next time I'll write a list. :(

I always write a list -- even if I only need two or three things.

Works fine, unless I forget that I have a list in my pocket.

I hope your ice clears soon!

I rest my case!

It's clearly a man thing :o)

I write a list sometimes.

We've got rain forecast for the beginning of the week- that should clear the ice.

As others have noted, a list is your friend. I am famous for going to buy (whatever) and coming home with everything else except the (whatever).

I find that very reassuring. :)

You need Yak-trax! You'll never slip and slide again...

So I've been told :)

.... sorry about that, it used to be during the day but was changed for the overseas viewers.

My short term memory sure isn't what it used to be. lol.

That's a shame. I feel tennis is a game that should be played by daylight in the open air

And on grass. I wish the Aussie Open wwas still played on grass!
