PC versus biro

This typing lark on a computer is a piece of piss. Spellchecker, thesaurus, easy to edit - much better than writing with a biro.
Why, you might ask, have I only just realised?
Because I've spent ninety minutes writing longhand for an assessment for a new job and it's the first time in years that I have hand written so MUCH! I didn't realise how much I use a thesaurus until I didn't have one to refer to. Not just the thesaurus on MS Word but my Penguin Dictionary of Synonyms & Antonyms.
And my handwriting. My God! It started out okay, quite neat in fact. But it didn't take long for it to deteriorate. Just as soon as my hand started to go numb after frantically scribbling for the first half hour. Just hope the content of my writing detracts from the awful scrawl. I was quite pleased with the content actually so am hoping to get through to the interviews.

Every morning when I get up the kittens have grown in their sleep, especially Chester. Although they still have kitten faces they are as big as an average cat now and their tails are becoming longer and furrier.








Aww! How cute!
