    What a day! I hope you find the keys... bread bin? Fridge? In some shoes? They are devious little things and hide in the most unlikely places.

    I’ve found them 🥳 They were in a cupboard where I’d been looking for a spare carrier bag. Thank goodness, I was about to start rummaging in the bin.

    Everyone on the vulnerable list has been or is being sent a box of covid tests. I was puzzled but I got an email explaining a couple of day later.⁰

    Well I think I must be going doo-lally. After the keys episode yesterday, here I am this morning working from home waiting for my Mr M delivery only to find it's booked for tomorrow 🙄 The only thing I can think of is that they didn't have my usual Tuesday slot or I made a mistake. I'm in the office tomorrow so will have to go in later or swap my day. This means I'll have to go out and get some milk as we are completely out of it and Mr SA will be in tears if he doesn't get his coffee.

    If you see any marbles rolling about they are mine 😆

    @Sun_Addict - I know what you mean about doo-lally moments. Last week, I swore blind to one of the builders that it was Wednesday. He'd said he wouldn't see me tomorrow 'because I've not been asked to work on Friday" & I said "Well you'll be here then because tomorrow's Thursday". I was adamant I was right & even had to check my diary! He was later very careful to lay a walkway of safety boards outside the front door over a rough surface & to tell me several times to take care not to trip over. I think he had taken my moment of der-brain to heart & decided I needed treating like an old lady!

    OH dear getting older is no fun. I constantly struggle for words and frequently have to describe things to Mr LH for him to provide the word I am searching for.

    I think a lot of it with me is trying to do several things at the same time usually in a mad hurry. Yesterday I was rushing about trying to get everything done before I left for work. No idea what happened with the Mr M order but it’s not the end of the world, it’s coming tomorrow and I’ll double check the day when I book the delivery in future. It’s definitely coming on Tuesday next week 😆

    Mr SA’s tests have both come back clear so we are no closer to finding out what’s causing his constant upset stomach. I’ve got to ring the doctors at 8am tomorrow to try and get him another appointment with the GP.
