Given how rarely people knock on my door it's quite impressive that it's happened on two successive days. It was raining really heavily when I opened the door, and the guy standing there said something about a gas safety check. As it turned out he had got the wrong house, but I was not doing great cognitively and I couldn't make sense of what he was saying. So I just stared at him, trying to figure it out, while he stood in the pouring rain. Poor guy.

I wish there were stickers for doors, similar to the 'Please allow extra time to answer the door' stickers with a wheelchair symbol on them, but for cognitive/auditory processing issues. 'I may struggle to understand you, please allow extra time for me to process your words'? Because this guy must have thought I was just being rude.
