Senior Citizenship

It's been coming for a while now, but this morning, while making my daily cafetière à piston, I managed to put the sugar in the cafetière, rather than my cup.

The only thing that gives me hope is that I noticed it immediately.

Please tell me I'm not alone?

Oops!!

No, you're not alone. I still have quite some way to go but do that kind of thing. I just put it down to my towering intellect concentrating on other things ;-)

wv: cupfula - relevant I think

Mitch said...

Yes you are alone and very sad to boot.

Mitch: I hope you die, screaming, in a fire.

Guthrum said...

No you are not alone, I recoved the milk from the washing machine two days ago

David Gillies said...

Yep, Obo, you're fucked. Next stop: colostomy bag. Stop after that: forgetting to wear it. Stop after that: putting sugar in your colostomy bag.

Mitch said...

Ahhhhh obo loves me!

I always loved a barbecue.

I used to do a lot of walking into rooms then forgetting why. For a while I assumed it was an ageing thing, but I drink far less heavily than I used to, and that seems to have gone away now.

You are alone, so very, very alone.

Except when the Voices come.

You know, the Voices that tell you secrets.

Except when the Screaming starts.

So terribly alone.

Mwahahahahahahahahah!

Don't worry. We can be alone together.

I've never done anything like that.

But then I don't take sugar. Or milk. Waste of good coffee.

I do find that if my routine is disrupted then everything goes to ratshit. I run on autopilot most of the time. So, no, you are not alone.

You can tell from my posts, can't you?

I poured some milk into the baked beans I had just taken out of the microwave, instead of my mug of tea...

The bloke who cuts my hair did much better than that - he put 5 gallons of 4 star in the WATER tank of his VW camper van!

My missus sprinkled flour from the packet onto her strawberries last evening.

All clowns smile, cos they're crying inside.

Cos they're alone, so very alone. And lonely.

Y'all have a nice day y'hear!

I quite often find myself spooning tea into tea-cups and neglecting to put water in the kettle. I found a half-kilo of butter in the washing machine yesterday and I can't quite remember why I'm sewing this button on my hat!

I had such a senior moment in Tesco's the other day, I didn't dare go back. Well, at least until the staff had changed shift...

Only a teaspoonful?

I know exactly what you mean. I got confused and pissed in the sink the other day. To add insult to injury, they also banned me from B&Q.

Making coffe. Phone rings. Brief conversation. Coffee's vanished. WTF?

Back from work, eight hours later. Open the fridge. Ah, here's my coffee.
