Right at the front of your eyes
Is it my age but following on from "Dropsy" I have mislaid two items this week. 1st I put a large pair of blue handled scissors down and could not find them in my back garden then a few days later found them on a fertiliser bag which has as blue band on the top. Today the blue bin was emptied and when I went out to bring it in I could not see it at my gate or on the street.I looked all round and it was only when I came back into the garden I saw it half way up my drive at the side of the car Thank you bin men for doing this
Is it just me or BLUE items?

Peter, has this always been a problem, or is it just a recent thing?
Don't take this the wrong way, but studies in colour blindness show 1 in 200 women, but 1 in 12 men suffer from it. Have you ever taken an Ishihari test which checks for colour blindness? It's usually red and green which are the main problem but, our eyes do change as we get older, and you now seem to have a problem with blue.
Just a thought.

It's no surprise If you couldn't find the blue bin, Peter.
The bin men had brought it in for you
I wouldn't worry about it. We all forget to remember. Its a common occurrence . It is with me!

The scissors I had put down after completing a job and when tidying up could not remember were I had put them.A few days later I wanted some Manure out of a unopened bag and the scissors were on the bag which had a blue top banding and the scissors just blended with the band.I am used to retrieving my bin off the footpath and went down one side of the car and there was no sign of my bin,It was only when I turned round that I saw my bin part way up my drive on the other side of the car The blue bin is a small bin not a full sized bin like the rest,I just thought at 1st were as the bin gone looking up and down the street with no joy then turning round to find it

Hey Peter, I'm glad you mentioned that. I've just had a look on my Collections Calendar and ours are to be emptied on Tuesday instead of Wednesday.
