According to Ms M, who has made me the subject of her A2 design project. Apparently I spend 8 hours a DAY(!!) at my pc, have back problems (well that's true at least), problems with my co-ordination and difficulties scrolling. Hence she is designing me a 'foot -operated mouse.' (mercifully, I am only named as 'the client' on the official blurb. ) I get periodic alarming e-mails from her school address. This afternoon's also contained part of a progressive story about a nasally -challenged elephant.* I was tempted add to the tale, but refrained.
Bit the bullet (or the mouse) today and finished the first draft of my next assignment! Only 150 words over the limit, which is pretty good for me. And with a 500-1000 count allowed this time, luxury indeed! I celebrated this evening by walking to Sainsbury's to buy those essentials of life - coffee beans, oxy pads and toilet rolls. Emerged with everything on my list, plus a jumbone for the dog, swweties for the drive tomorrow and a box of Beatrix Potter tissues! In my defence we'll probably need the tissues. Both little Miffs are sneezing. Plus my assignment is a bit on the touchy-feely side and editing may call for tissue -wielding.
*Actually, I'm wrong here. Said pachyderm was challenged in another area entirely. What do they teach them in these schools?
