I'm finding quick crosswords more difficult to do - I do them in the paper my partner does them online. One always having to ask her for the answers.
Yesterday I had a complete mess up. I had arranged to meet a friend for lunch at a pub in the  next suburb. I had the pub in mind but the name I had texted to him was a pub half a mile away. I walked down to the first pub but just before going in I remembered I had texted him the name of the second pub so I set off for there. But when I got there I realized that the pub had closed 3 years ago and turned into a community health center. This was something I knew as I had been to events in the a couple of times. So I phoned my friend find out where he was. He had been sitting in the first pub all the time having assumed that was the pub I had meant all along.

Dreamt last nigh t that I had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. In the dream I felt sad knowing that my life was going to go downhill from now on. It also felt unfair given that I was doing all the right things such as regular exercise and eating well. The feelings from the dream carried over into the morning
