Five forgotten things
In memory of my shockingly unpredictable memory, here are five things I’ve forgotten:
1) The names of most of my primary school classmates.
2) One of Aquinas’ five ways (although a quick check reveals that it is the argument from contingent and necessary objects).
3) At least fifteen birthdays in the last twelve months, up over 50% on the previous twelve months.
4) Something important I was supposed to get posted this week, or was it last week?
5) Some of my youthful dreams, and most of the nightmares.
Readers are invited to add their own below, if they can remember.

At least 90% of The Periodic Table - which at one time I knew perfectly. Any and all algebra plus any formulas I may have had memorized. In short - basically all but basic math and all science!

1)Primary and secondary school, college and people who I spent a 20 week course with one year ago.
2)What I had for dinner today.
3)Who the Hell Aquinas is…
4)Mum, Brother and Girlfriends birthday, along with exactly how old I am (somewhere in the early thirties, but I’ve lost track)
5)Occasionally how to spell my middle name.
