SENIOR MOMENTS

As I boarded a bus with my husband, a dog sitting with its owner began sniffing me which prompted my husband to pipe up, “he can probably smell Whisky on you.” I had to explain to the passengers that Whisky is the name of our cat!

Anxious to let him know he hadn’t lost it and I had it, I hastily checked if I had his home telephone number anywhere. I discovered I did have his mobile number so, with some relief, I quickly tried that. It wasn’t until it rang a few feet away from me that I convinced myself I should be entering a ‘spot the loon’ competition! Lorna Phillips, Northampton
