The great debate
The time has come, I have decided, to invest in a new computer. Such excitement. Wandering round a computer shop today, I was intrigued by the sign hung above one of their aisles: "Mice". Really? Obviously, if you've got more than one small rodent, you've got mice, but when it comes to the plural of the computer accoutrement I tend to say, "Mouses, er, mice, oh you know what I mean" and that, fairly obviously, is not a practical long-term solution.

It's all in there, brewing and stewing into what I'm sure will be a blockbuster tell-all novel sometime in the future when all the relevant people are retired and cobwebbed. Either that, or I will flip through my notebook in a few years and wonder why I wrote "I want to look after rich nuts, not dirty, scabby nuts" and "deaf and dumb prostitute from Colac moved into Ward 4 sitting room".
I'm pondering too what to do with leftover corks. What do you do with them? It always seems a shame to waste them, but I only need so many knitting needle protectors and, short of tying them to strings and hanging them round a hat, I don't quite know what else to do.
