A 'non' blog post

Oh fer pity's sake....proof positive, if ever there was proof needed that I am getting old and that my mind is turning rapidly to something that should be residing quietly at the bottom of a stagnant pond!

I was woken somewhat violently by the horrendously loud howl 'bleep' of a new alarm this morning but was surprisingly together...all things being relative.

I was up in a moment for fear of waking the whole house, fumbling for the 'off button and amazingly my mind
seemed sharp(ish). As I meandered my way downstairs, bleary eyed I had a bloc post ready and mentally written, all I had to do was make myself an utterly indispensable cup of strong coffee and beat my father to the computer. I was cooking with gas!


Coffee was made, Tilly was fed, my father was yet to be seen and so feeling pleased with myself I sat down at the computer and hit the 'go' button. The machine sprang hobbled into life and I placed my digits over the keys......and the post was gone, completely and utterly gone, absolutely no vestige of recollection as to what it's subject was, nothing, zip, zilch, nada, my mind was a complete void flailing around in a desperate attempt at proving to itself there maybe at least two remaining cells functioning.....hmmmm, not a chance, it was gone, likely never to be seen again!

Two hours later and still not a hint of what my post was to be about, hence this 'non' post....good God! This is age really settling in, I don't even have the excuse that I spent a heavy night on the tiles or that I didn't sleep, for I slept well unusually. Nope, this is the horror that is 'old', the proof positive that the years are catching up with me and poking me hard in the eye to make sure I at least remember that!

Hey ho....it's Friday, Friday's are good (to the best of my memory) so I'm getting outta here for a weekend of drunkenness and debauchery (hey, I can dream) in an effort to rest and re-invigorate my weary mind....have a good one guys.
