Yes. I shared a house for some years with a woman who lost her memory and
now spend some time with another, both aging and perhaps it is to be
expected; but it makes me see early onset of everything in everything in
me
In fact I was always like it, I think. I can remember nearly 20 years ago
announcing things at gigs like -- suppose it were today I am speaking --
"next week, that's February 12th"... Just dates from nowhere. It was as if
there were a calender dial in my head which had come loose and spun around
I know in May I said to a colleague that we'd be done with a project by
September and she said But I shan't be here then. No, no, I said. I mean
June.
She's less than half my age and I'm sure she thinks I'm losing it --
fighting it maybe, but losing it. Maybe I am
