I distinctly remember having a conversation, some time ago, in which I said, ‘Well, I won’t forget that – it’s the day before the twins’ birthday.’
Unfortunately, that’s all I remember. I can’t recall who I was talking to. I can’t picture where I was when I said it. And I haven’t the faintest recollection of what it was I arranged to do. Tomorrow.
So if anyone’s expecting me … sorry!
Down by the River 
For April 28th? Perhaps you were going to celebrate the 27th birthday of Jessica Alba? The death of Benito Mussolini? The second day of my 35th year on this planet? Hmm…
They say Alzheimer’s isn’t when you can’t find your keys… it’s when you find your keys and can’t remember what they’re for.
No more aluminium saucepans for you, ok?!
Now you see I was going to put up a pithy nugget of wit about Alzhiemers as well….ermm…ermm…I should have written it down somewhere…mind you, maybe I did..
I…er…I’ve forgotten what I was going to comment about.
I’ve been stood outside this seedy motel all day! Where the blinking flip are you?!
27th April (ie yesterday) was the day of the christening of my best mate’s twins.
I imagine that has something to do with it.
It’s ok. Your forgetfulness meant more cake for me!
I knew it!
You are my soulmate!
Where were you? We waited and waited … The kids were really distressed. Several had to be persuaded not to give up on life entirely. How could you do this to these innocents? Their little faces were so sad, their little eyes so teary …
Alarmed passers by called the police. Social services are now involved. Germany has invaded Poland.
OMG, I can’t believe you’ve let us down like this …
You were going to do the lambada with me in City Hall. I look pretty dumb on my own.

dja know debi, even though i knew you were kidding (you were, weren’t you????) i felt myself go all hot and bothered as i read that. i always thought, catholic guilt-wise, i was the one that got away. looks like they did more of a number on me than i realised.
lambada … note to self – must learn to do the lambada, solely to impress moobs
