Working on the front garden
I was hailed by a passing horsewoman with a cheery “how are you”, to which I
replied despite not having a clue who she was or possibly, despite knowing her, just not recognising her
face; this is not unusual for me but I now know is not my fault as I suffer
from prosopagnosia – the latest condition to get a scientific name, following
in the footsteps of dyslexia (can’t read), dyscalculia (can’t add up),
dyspraxia (clumsy); in my case the condition is ‘can’t remember a face’ – that,
according to the news report I read, I share with Brad Pitt and quite a few
others.
