Welcome everybody. Today's episode of Postcards for Midlife, it's going to be a little bit of a health focus one,

because we do like to talk about what we can do to support our mental and physical in health in midlife,

because things go bit haywire, thanks to all over.

They go all over the place.

Thanks for the hormonal changes.

So I'm going to kick off Lorraine for your delight, because I do know you love

these, with a couple of brain fog bloopers, because these are the bane of every midlife in perimenopause

a woman's life. And the sort of thing we want help for, isn't it? Yes, we love the bloopers because

we're all in it together. We feel and we hear the bloopers, don't we? And it does happen to all of us. And it keeps us sane in a way, doesn't it, listening to the funny stuff in our life. Exactly, the mad stuff. So Claire on the Facebook group posted, and it was a real cry for help. She said, help, I've lost my engagement ring. I think there is a chance. It's still in the house and I've forgotten where I put it. And she had lots and lots of lovely suggestions from people of like

the idiotic places that they've left things. But then she posted an update to say that she

realized that she'd cleaned it, left it in the tissue and someone had thrown the tissue in the

bin. But she kind of retraced her steps and managed to find it. Gosh, do you know what I do now? I take pictures of everything. When I do something like that, I just take a picture. Good idea. Yeah, and then I know. And if I hide something because we're going on holiday and I don't want to be burgled, I take a picture of it. So know it is because I'll never remember. We had another one from Victoria, didn't we? She said, mine was under the fridge freezer, frowned years later when we had a new kitchen fitted. That's bizarre. Can you imagine it? I don't know whether that's joyful because you found it or like you spent years mourning the loss of your engagement

ring I know and Annette had one on the thread saying I lost a watch for nine months could

have sworn I'd wrapped it in some socks for safekeeping as you do turns out I'd put it in

the watch box somewhere completely different I mean you've had a couple of lost stuff.

I know. My big one, I mean, I think it was just last year, wasn't it? I lost my AirPods, didn't I?

And I could not work out what the cues the children of stealing them, the husband found them

six months later in the sewing box which um clearly shows how

rarely if ever the sewing box gets opened in my house you never do sewing i don't understand

do sewing i'm not good a button maybe but that's about the extent of my skills apart from as we

all know the embroidered tottenham Hotspur cushion from many moons ago.
