Theme week

As I've noted before, in this process of remembering every day that passes, it is sometimes the most recent days which can prove the most elusive as I try to recall the images pinned to my mental calendar.

So it has proved this week, until the theme of the week struck me. Not every week has a theme, but some do either because of a change in location or routine or simply because I manufacture one.

The theme emerging this week is simply meetings. Each day, either for work or personally, I had a meeting, including on Wednesday 5 September a fitting for contact lenses I need for running. That's a date I would like to remember for when people ask how long I have been using them.

I find obstacles to remembering in the reviews of my moving window of past days are often overcome when I recall the theme for the week.
