Yes, I use the trackpad. I do a heck of a lot of photo editing, and the trackpad lets me use both hands at the same time.

The trackpad on my old Sony Vaio is brilliant - but probably because I've been using it for donkeys. Less enamoured of the trackpad on the Lenovo, but then I only use that laptop for internetting / streaming.

On-line srbblace and jigsaws require just one hand.

Why do shops with trolleys not have level car parks as the trolley in some cases keeps trying to escape when loading the car?

Been there, done that, bought several t-shirts...

The Tesco carpark looks flat, but it isn't. There have been the odd times when I've turned around while loading the car to see the rest of my groceries disappearing off over the horizon...

I would like to purchase a new mouse. Yes, even Wols sometimes have to buy mice instead of hunting in the long grass. I like the (sound of) the Logitech Silent mouse.

I have been warned in the past about wireless mice that "eat" batteries. The description of the above product says that the battery will last up to eighteen months. What is your experience of wireless mice?

Modern mice are low energy devices, normal aa/aaa. batteries will last for many months. My latest Logitech has an in built battery & I only charge it every 3-4 months.

I have a similar Logitech mouse. It uses a single AA battery which lasts ages. I use rechargeable batteries so when it dies it's a simple swap over. It came with a battery included, I think. I have no idea what the ''silent'' bit is about. Apart from minor clicks for the two buttons and depressing the wheel, the only noise it makes is when I drop it on the floor. (Surprisingly robust....)

I have a Trust wireless mouse, in dark red, that matches the colour of my laptop. I can't remember when I last changed the 2 x AAA batteries it was that long ago.

New passport arrived. It took 3.5 weeks, which is great considering the horror stories out there.

My personal horror story with driving license is still somewhere in action since 3rd January this year. I am among those unlucky poor souls who have medical license and it has to be done by post. I still can drive even without a licence untill 22nd Feb next year. Hopefully it will be sorted by then.

Right, I'm off on the great Tomato Plant Hunt...

 

[Andy in Germany]

It's really rather warm here at the moment.

 

[Reynard]

Bought half a dozen tomato plants from a small little garden center in Ely after Wilko turned up a blank and Waitrose wanted £4 per plant.

Got mainly heritage varieties - a beefsteak, a plum, two kinds of cherry tomatoes and a pair of salad tomato plants with a delightfully-named German variety called Bloody Butcher.

I am now sitting down with a

I get on fine with mine. I use rechargeable batteries. I have a wireless keyboard too and I can't remember ever changing the batteries in that. I suppose I must have done but it was ages ago.
