I can still itemise the list from Walking with Einstein’s memory tutor’s “to do” list.

Tried walking through my memory palace, blowing up each item. Didn’t work; now I still have the item’s with a “blown-up version” attached to each one of them. The items are, and remain:

1. Jar of pickled garlic (blown up version has glass everywhere)

2. cottage cheese (splattered up the garden fence)

3. peat smoked salmon (carnage)

4. six bottles of white wine (wet glass shards)

5. three pairs of socks (soggy and crispy)

6. three hula hoops (fine, just a bit charred)

7. a snorkel (melted)

8. dry ice machine (blown to bits)

9. phone Sophia (unaffected)

10. a skin coloured cat skin suit (cinders)

11. find the movie “Someone up there likes me” starring Paul Newman (melted)

12. venison flavoured sausages (cooked)

13. a directors chair and megaphone (burned)

14. a barometer (splintered)

A couple were hard to remember such as the dry ice machine and the movie, so maybe it is fading; finally.

Meantime, can’t remember where I put my wallet.
