‘Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch’ – but where’s my face mask and hand sanitiser?

-

How many attempts does it take you to leave the house? I’m a four-or-fivegoes kind of person. I forget my wallet, I forget sunglasses and car keys, I forget my book (I never go anywhere without a book). To this long list, I now need to add masks, which I keep forgetting when I go on the Sainsbury’s run, and have to return home a sixth time to play a fun game called “Hunt Aunty Soph’s Mask.” My nieces aren’t much taken with it. “Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch,” goes the old saying, but I reckon it’s time for a new one. If any readers can come up with a pithy new saying or mnemonic which includes face coverings and mini bottles of antiseptic hand gel (“spectacles, medicals, wallet and watch?”), the nieces and I would be jolly grateful.
