My friend Sue came down for lunch today. We were looking for a cafe that had surfboards out the front of it. I was certain I knew where it was. Could not find it and nothing was really looking familiar so found another one and had a lovely lunch. 

All good until I got back to MD and started thinking about where I am. I looked at Wikicamps and discovered I am completely in the wrong town. No wonder I could not find what I was looking for and why the town seems so much bigger than I remembered. 

 

I am at Murwillumbah and not Mullimbindy. I stayed at Mullimbindy on my way North.

I do worry about me at times.

Sharon over the past couple of days I have had 2 reasons to agree with the topic.

(1) Bought 2 noodles to cut and put over the support ropes to make them conspicuous and I counted the ropes to find that I needed 10. Measured the noodle 1400mm and divided it by 10 then cut the noodle into 10 equal pieces and at about that time I looked around and saw the other noodle.

(2) Decided to put up the TV antenna and set up the TV for the first time in months then tried to get the TV off the rack holding it to the wall. Shook it twisted it and eventually ended up prizing the whole unit plus stand off the wall. Then I noticed the locking strip which prevents the TV from being removed, pulled it out and the TV fell off the holding rack.

So Sharon don't feel that you are the only one having senior moments I have had 2 beauties over the past couple of days.    John

That is funny John. Something I would do.
Maybe Greens could become the retirement village for GN's. They could lock the gate and not let us out.

I wouldn't worry about that too much, Shekon. At least you got Sue right. You could have been in the right town having lunch with the wrong person.

My mate was called Alan just like me but he was the most forgetful person I have ever known, So I called him alsimer. He said to his wife one morning he was horny and hadn't had anything for a long time She told him he had one last night. He was certainly a worry.

So Shekon you have nothing to worry about yet. Cheers Allan
