Excellent stuffed toys hour yesterday with Totchiarnicus…

I wouldn't usually say this, but I actually think there might be something seriously wrong with Peter Simon. I used to think that it was a case that he was just a bit thick, and the problem was that his brain couldn't keep up with his mouth, so the faster he spoke, the more it didn't make sense. There was some evidence for that. However, some of his speech patterns now are more pathological to me. He often loses the right word, or uses a near synonym which 'sort of' makes sense, but doesn't. He often loses his train of thought mid-sentence, or starts a new sentence when he hasn't finished the one he's currently on. I've heard him recently recasting sentences, because he can't find the right word or he's got himself in such a muddle that he's got totally lost. He often gets basic information wrong like people's names, the current date, the names of the products etc.

If I were his carer or handler, I'd actually be encouraging him to go to the GPs.
 
Apparently he now takes the CBD gummies because, and the staff know this, he has a 'swelling' downstairs = cue a leer.
He 'might' have to get a knee replacement in six months.
But hang on, collagen saved his knees, the stepper strengthened his core and Emu Balm removed the pain???

Then, there was a sob story about a difficult phone call, a relative being in hospital, but the gummie calming him.
Shocking tale if it's not true.
 
That steam cleaner looks a bit faffy especially to clean your windows inside. I would rather use my Karcher window vac. It’s cordless and you haven’t the chance of scolding your hands with the steam.
Another piece of electronic equipment you don’t really need

He has had the same GP, Dr Tom for over fifty years, so he is probably in a worse state. He must be 75 plus.

Perhaps with his struggles with language, he just names every GP he sees 'Dr Tom'. Dr Anwar comes into the waiting room asking for 'Mr Simon' - Peter rises from his seat, and creaks towards the Dr - 'ahh, Dr Tom: lovely to see you again'.

Agreed, I'm sure all of us of a certain age fail to remember a name or a word but he literally cannot put a sentence together. I've suspected something wasn't right, and it's nothing a stepper, collagen or gummies can cure.
