@pansyface I was wondering - when you actually got your Diary, was it completely empty or had the ship's crew been filling it in with " still waiting", "sea's rough", "had some Rum" and similar daily entries ?
Oh I know pansyface, I'm just the same. Wee Uff has to remind me. He tells me when it's time to feed him, when he wants a walk, not to forget him when I put his traveling crate in the car and don't forget his biscuit when he goes to bed amongst many things. Plus I have 2 diaries, one to remind me day to day stuff and a big week to view. If I didn't have those I Wouldn't Remember A Thing either.
Many might think this odd but Mrs Cotto keeps a diary of the meals we’ve had this year. Stuck for inspiration when thinking about what to eat in the week ahead, it is a great aide memoire. She also has a log of all the meals given to guests so nobody ever has the same thing repeated.
When we put a time capsule in our new stone wall two years ago, a list of 365 meals was inside. In 100/200 years’ time I think that will be a fascinating insight. A Tesco weekly shopping list with prices went in there as well.
My wife has a perfect memory when it comes to food. It's a bit scary actually. I struggle to remember what I ate yesterday but she could tell you every course of a meal we had at a restaurant 10 years ago. Not just her meal but what I ate or anyone with us and sometimes the meal she didn't eat but wished she'd had instead. Of course it's very hard to prove her wrong so she could be making it up. On the other hand she can't remember the first names of some family members or anyone's birthdays.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
No, that's the power of Covid. Shipping was stuffed - container pricing went up through the roof as containers were in the wrong locations. Ports that handled containers couldn't take more in and then had/have massive issues getting containers back where they should be.

Whereas I remember birthdays of friends I had at primary school and boyfriends long consigned to 'good riddance' status. And car number plates, actually numbers generally (including my 16 digit credit card number). It's annoying. All the useful things I might remember - people's names, what I should be doing this week, why I went to the kitchen - if only my head wasn't stuffed with all this entirely useless rubbish. Why do I need to know that my Mum's car registration in the 1970s was NHU 686F? What was it I was going to put on the shopping list?
Bah

Bleedin' schools. We've just been sent an email saying both kids need to wear a spooky costume to school on Friday. Could they really not have given us at least a week's notice and allowed us the weekend to get something sorted?

There have been a number of strikes recently at Felixstowe which is the cause of the new backlog.
