I am rubbish with names, flying with different people everyday doesn't help matters

Will keep an eye out on the way to/from San Diego 

Although when I tried filming the Aurora Borialis, the video didn't pick it up over the glare from the wingtip markers. Got some decent stills though

Good job I've got plenty of loo roll in then! 

I have been like that forever, put tools down I am using and cant see them, cant remember folks name I have known for years. Its my dyslectic brain!!

I once forgot a newish girlfriends name while chatting to her Dad. 

My mind just went blank. It was obvious to him as well and I couldn't retrieve the situation. Don't think he was very impressed to be honest.                     

The relationship didn't last long after that and she went on to marry a naval officer.                       

I am with you Dave except it is a knotted hanky.

We are “ out in the open” at the moment on the wonderful Costa de la Luz. Worse is Rota is just down the road. When the madman nukes Europe , if he sends two to Spain one would be Madrid and the other Rota.  We will be back in our bunker from the 5th June.

It's not uncommon for me to walk into a room and then wonder what I went in there for. 

Is this normal?        

It's so common that it has a name - the doorway effect.

I'd never heard of that. Just had a read up about it, fascinating.

SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: Giant sunspot AR3664 has now hurled at least four CMEs directly toward Earth. Their combined arrival this weekend could spark severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storms with mid- to low-latitude auroras. Although this is a potentially significant space weather event, it is not going to be the next Carrington Event. If the coming storm were a hurricane, it would be ranked category 4, not category 5.

Sunspot AR3664 has grown so large, it now rivals the great Carrington sunspot of 1859. Carrington's sunspot is famous because in August and Sept. 1859 it emitted a series of intense solar flares and CMEs. The resulting geomagnetic storms set fire to telegraph offices and sparked auroras from Cuba to Hawaii. The "Carrington Event" has since become a touchstone of space weather in pop culture, with recent headlines stoking fears of an "internet apocalypse" if it repeats.
