Oh, how reassuring to read these. I spend ages hunting for mislaid things, just hate keys tho I'm obsessed by them. I am unable to throw any out so have bags full of ancient yales chubbs, whatever. Might need just that key one day. I think I might have been a warder in a previous life, but my brother in law thinks I was a jailer. Strangely I have no difficulty remembering plant names.
Just stumbled upon this thread whilst wondering around in bewilderment at my own senior (at 41!!!) moment!!
I can't find my watch, I don't know if I've lost it because I can't even remember if I put it on yesterday morning!! Needless to say, I am currently watch less and a tad worried as to it's whereabouts
must admit I do most of these and im only 33! but I did a dementia awareness course recently for work and I was assured by the instructor that all of those senior moments are perfectly normal and nothing sinister (everyone on the course was very relieved!)

Young Kenneth Dodd calls it befuddlement.

Plenty of senior moments here, too.
I'm quite capable of forgetting what the end of a sentence was going to be by the time I've written the first half!
I've also remembered something that was to go on the shopping list, and forgotten it again by the time I've found the shopping list.

So, is this just a gardening thing? Or do the unenlightened get befuddled too?
I'm constantly confuzzled at the moment (that's a Traceyism LOL!!)

People say it's because I'm too busy and always rushing round, I disagree because it seems to happen when I slow down!! So, the trick is to keep busy
