Memory

The last few days, I've forgotten things I should know, but the fact that I've remembered that I forgot means my memory is not totally shot, though it has never been good.

Firstly, I forgot the name of a model of a Ford that I once had (two cars) , I knew the car, just not the model name then I forgot the name of someone I've been working with. Someone mentioned her name and it clicked in, the information is in there, just at times it refuses to surface.

I did a search of Ford car models and there it was, Ford Sierra, a car I liked but the name just wouldn't come to mind. And that's the thing, I may not know things, but I know where to find things , or to spot things in the midst of other things. The thing is , if my memory is so bad , how can I know how to find things , because that ability must be something that resides in memory.

It's not something that bothers me, because I always fine what I need.

I'm going to share a video of Soft Machine's "Memories" with Robert Wyatt on vocals, which is a song I've always liked and has been revisited by Robert down the years.
