Was reading an article this morning on the new series of Doctor Who, and I saw that the new Doctor has an all-new new Sonic Screwdriver, and I thought, they’ll probably get them in the model shop down at the mall soon, so I’ll keep a lookout and buy one for Ernie, cos he’s mad for Doctor Who and it’s his birthday in May, which is only a few weeks away.

Then I thought, No, I can’t buy him one. He’s gone.

Sometimes, things sneak up on me, a stitch frays, and I forget for a moment.
