A tip
A big thanks to you people for the nice reassuring comments you left about motorways. I feel a lot better thinking about how they are straight, 1-way park-free zones. (And I was :-O at the freakishly youthful confidence that led a certain mad person to make her motorway debut on a French motorway! I have a vague memory of being impressed at the time.) However, I still have zero desire to zoom up and down the Big Girls Roads, so today I settled for a trip to the beach via an A road, which was quite fast enough for me. Oh, and I've been to the local supermarket BY MYSELF BECAUSE C HATES IT about 17 million times in the last week.
Anyway, in return for the kind comments, I have a tip for whoever reads this blog - clean your keyboard NOW! Why? Because it is a huge germ-filled area, dirtier than your loo seat, according to Lifehacker. Then again, everything is dirtier than your loo seat these days, as a smart friend of mine pointed out. Anyway, that photo freaked me out last week, so one evening, I spent a very satisfying (and rather worried) hour doing this. I urge everyone else to do it too, if you can be bothered. It will make you gasp in horror, unless you're weird and never ever ever eat or drink or even breathe near your computer. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Comments
Meanwhile they're saying that one primary cause of asthma or increase in allegeries is due to people keeping everything too clean (ie, kids can't build up natural resistance to dust/mud/etc because it's too clean)
Sometime...just accept it's good for things to get a bit dirty!
As for the keyboard cleaning stuff? Oh, last time I did that was when orange juice got split over it and keyboard became horribly sticky and get stuck - I popped off all keys and put the entire thing (including the case itself etc - apart from circuit board - into the washing basket)
However - with laptops being increasingly popular, that's not gonna be easy to clean!

Dear J - some roads for you to practice on, until you build up your confidence for scary motorway driving. :P
