Yes I thought it was looking better very good of him to do that.

It's quite fascinating just how WRONG our memories can be.

This was really driven home to me when I was working in New Zealand. Since I had to be there more than a year, I had to get an international drivers' license. I passed the written test quite well, but had to re-take the practical part 3 times before passing it. To this day I remember VERY CLEARLY taking the practical test: The man testing me joined my in my car: me in the diver's seat on the left and him on the passenger seat on the right. I clearly remember him placing a little mirror on a suction cup just inside my left driver's side door so he could see my eyes to know I was checking my blind spot frequently enough. I remember the route we took (since I re-did it 3 times! :p) and how I parked properly on the left. etc.
But there's only ONE problem with that memory: New Zealand drives on the other side of the road to the US, and the cars are correspondingly designed. I KNOW that, since we were in the car I purchased there, that the driver's wheel where I sat was on the RIGHT, but my memory very CLEARLY shows me on the LEFT. I KNOW that the man doing my test was sitting on my LEFT, but my memory CLEARLY shows him sitting on my RIGHT. I KNOW we had to have parked on the RIGHT, but my memory CLEARLY shows me parking on the LEFT. etc etc etc

It's fascinating to see how "helpful" my brain was in reconstructing the memory to fit the reality it has known for 60 years, but it's a little scary to see just how WRONG that memory is.
Unless he sat the test for you!

I wish!!
Hi Adam & co - had router trouble but all seems OK now, but if I disappear again it will probably be that.
Have some catching up to do - it's been busy.
Hey, Lyn!
Day and a half, starting to get worried .
So glad You're back.
Yeah, some nice new people, some regulars, some occasionals and Ken (hurrah!).
It's been busy enough.
Rout your router.

Nice to know I was missed - I missed popping in too.
Did lots of ironing last night though!!
Another reason I may suddenly disappear again is because I've run away.
School next week and I really don't want to go.

Yeah, well, if you must, run away here.
Lots of friends here.
I like ironing, which is just as well, as wifey won't do it.
The servants do the easy stuff; but I do the shirts and things or they wreck the buttons and stuff.
