Re: Memory!
Memory is a peculiar thing. According to the psychiatrist we went to see with MIL, there's short, medium and long term memory. So whilst our long term memory - what we did when children or teenagers may remain good, medium and especially short term memory can be unstable. MIL cannot remember things that happen five minutes ago and so those things to her didn't happen. Her time in the Army during the war though are still there and so that's were she lives sometimes.

However, the fact of actually writing the list appears to help the memory and I usually recall most, if not all, of what i wanted.
