Bit Ga-Ga Actually...

I do so swear my brain has turned to mush...three times I watched a video this morning on an art technique which is new to me...

It's incredibly simple...doesn't involve doing any complicated sums and algebra is nowhere to be seen...

Off to my shed this afternoon to have a go...I was all fired up and enthusiastic...cleared the work top...swore at Eilis for barking to come in...she changes her mind if I don't have the heater on and wants to go out again...put what I needed out and away I went.

It didn't work...I was so puzzled and frustrated...tried again...nope.

Counted to ten and had another go...

Came indoors and watched the video again and felt like such an eejit...for crying out loud, no wonder it wasn't working the way I was doing it...

So what happened...or didn't happen I suppose...why didn't my brain gather up the information and save it, that's what I'd like to know.

I'm not really in my dotage, even if I look ancient...can still do crossword puzzles and when we had a television I could answer some of the questions on University Challenge...not many...just a few.

Why is my head suddenly being picky...how is it I can recall the collective noun for a group of crows...it's a 'murder' in case you didn't know, but I'm sure you did...but completely forgot you have to ink the embossing folder...not the paper.

Something else...I can spell totally obscure words...not a bother...but when it comes to plain and ordinary words there are times when I sit here and how to spell 'field' for instance has me totally bewildered...

Blame it on the steroids actually...
