She's only 64 this year. I know she feels she lost some of her memory during the menopause, but she always been a pretty irritable person. I suppose this weekend was a more extreme example and it probably was because she was somewhere unfamiliar.
Much as she implies that Dad holds her back, always wanting to stick to the same routine, she definitely has a limited comfort zone herself. That has probably become smaller with age. I did notice she wasn't as aware as me - I can walk and talk and notice things and think all at the same time. Mum has to stop to do things, and missed some quite obvious things that I had to point out (opening times clearly displayed, street names, bus stop information etc - and she has better eyesight than me). Her pettishness was more marked at times like that I suppose.
Maybe I will relent and consider Glasgow. She's always been so organised and paid such attention to detail before. If it's just a case of slowing myself down then I can deal with that.
