What's your opinion - I read, do crosswords, knit, play computer games and don't watch daytime TV...................and I can't remember what I did yesterday hence my name.

well i tell you what i think , i think your neighbours should start turning the music down to a reasonable volume and no i certainly would not eat a squirrel pie!

oh how I wish I could get on with my knitting, but having a 7 month old kitten has put stop to that......

I do read as much as possible usually on the bus going home from work.

I'm sure I used to work sometime...

Agree....don't indulge in mind numbing repetitive hobbies like knitting. Keep the mind lively, do xwords, read & keep up with tekkies.

The brain is like a filing cabinet. As the cabinet gets stuffed 'tis hard to find old info, per dementia. Re-organise the cabinet to find required info easier; important docs/photos on your websites, with code access passed to next of kin.

I've started keeping a daily diary. It's filled with the most mudane daily stuff but it's a fantastic help if I need to refer back to something.

now, where did I put it........

Sounds good mrs o but I'd probably forget to fill it in. Since retiring I've taken up genealogy and as I say I read a lot (interesting variety of books) but I drive my daughter nuts. She rings up to talk about something we've apparently discussed before and I don't know what she's talking about. I start to tell her something and get the 'you've already told me that twice'. I'm quite happy forgetting things but it seems to really annoy her.
