No, not my shopping list but the mantra my father used to repeat every morning before he left for work. This short saying ensured that he would take everything he needed for his day's work as an engineer in a shipyard workshop. He had a routine in the morning - get up, get washed, get shaved, get dressed, get breakfast, get going. I remember he used to set out everything on the kitchen table the previous evening and woe betide any curious child who disturbed anything! This was his routine virtually every morning of his working life and it still resonates with me today. I have retired now but I still find myself saying something similar every time I leave the house - car keys, house keys, wallet, parking permit, etc. This kind of phrase is known as a 'mnemonic' and such things come in handy when we need to remember things. Do you have anything similar? Note: 'Piece' is a colloquial Scottish word for a package of sandwiches - not a firearm!
