Evidentially
Now I realise that reaching 40 is something of a milestone but as I mentioned before, I really don't feel so very old and therefore I was little surprised by my recent absent minded behaviour.
You see, there have been several times lately when I have been to the shops and bought butter. At least, I certainly meant to buy butter, it was on my list and I was almost quite certain that I bought it but whilst putting away the shopping it became apparent that there was no butter.
It happened again.
On the third occasion, I knew I had bought butter, I thought consciously about the act as I placed it in my trolley, I knew there could be no mistake. I arrived home and began to carry the bags indoors, of course the phone rang and distracted me briefly, I finished the call and returned outside for the final bag.
The evidence would seem to suggest that I may not have forgotten the butter previously. The thief is quite ashamed. He retreated beneath the table to show his regret. Whilst licking his lips.

At one time when we had a cat, we wondered at the odd markings on the top of the butter cubes. Imagine our surprise to find that the imprints exactly matched our kitty's tongue!
Cute story and cuter photos!
We had a dog that loved butter as well, but as she was a beagle she never felt the need to be guilty. :)
Happy birthday to you. I have just turned 65, and assure you that my memory might skip a bit, but truly stills just about everything in a tight grip.
Cheers!
He does look verrrry sorry for himself though.
