WHAT DID YOU MAKE TODAY?

[Sooty22]

Some sort of iron, that´s all I know.

Looks cast. Did you use the dremel to sharpen it? How heavy is it?

@TeeDee Did you see the picture? I noticed it had dissapeared.

Still showing for me.

No, done nothing to it, it is as it came. 450g.
Put it on Dremel vise just for photo.

A mess,

I overfilled my berkfeld water filter. Thought it was empty, as I didn't remember refilling it last night. Went out, came back to a gallon of water all over the worktop and floor. Duh!!!!
Burned my spuds last week, now this!
I'm getting very forgetful of late. Should I worry?

@Woody girl If that was a serious question - No you shouldn’t worry.

There is a huge difference between forgetfulness associated with aging and clinical memory loss/confusion.

There was a New Scientist article about the difference published a few weeks ago. I’ll dig it out if it’s of interest.
It’s behind a paywall but a small breach of copyright or a synopsis shouldn’t harm anyone.

Edited to add:
This is the intro:

What is a ‘normal’ memory slowdown, and when should I worry?​

Lapses in memory are a normal part of ageing but can also be signs of dementia. Here’s how to distinguish between typical brain ageing and cognitive decline

Deleted double post.

I think I'm tired, the heat doesn't help, plus I've got another vile bullying situation happening. (5 incidents in a week) I did notify police, they were supposed to get back to me,but.....silence.
I'm a wee bit distracted i guess.
I need to get away for a bit, but it means leaving my veg garden to fry. Can't do that just yet. I'm so low on energy at the moment. Still suffering a tad of long covid.
Hanging on by fingernails yet again.

Now, I lost my phone for 5 hrs! Oh jeez! Someone sell me a braincell please!
Found it in the garden. Heaven only knows how it got there. I don't remember taking it out with me.
Not a normal thing, no wonder couldn't find it in the house. !
Total brain fog today. Now I've made ANOTHER MESS turning my bedroom upside down looking for it. I give up.!

And let me guess, landline gone so can't call the mobile to find it outside (or down the back of the sofa)?
I used to have a tracker which I could press to get my phone to ring (the tracker principally being designed for your to use your phone to find the tracker)...but lost the tracker in the sea. Now it's a case of doing what you've been doing and rummaging to find it again.

Actualy I can never remember my mobile number, so using the landline to find it was not an option, and I probably wouldn't have heard it as it was at the top of the garden under the sun umbrella on the table. I only found it when I went out to water the garden. Thank goodness I did. I almost gave the watering a miss, I was so peeved! I can't afford yet another phone so soon after getting this one. I must get a brightly coloured cover for it. So I can spot it easier.
I'd probably loose a tracker the way things are going the last few days!
