Depends what you have Wol. If it's a good ol' fashioned rollerball mouse, you can take it apart and clean it... the contacts inside tend to clag up. If you've got one with a fancy red light, new batteries normally do the trick!

It is not a wireless one, so I did not think it had batteries.

I just tried to open the mouse. The front bits where you press, could be lifted, so I lifted them, decided that they did not come out completely and snapped them back in place, and now the mouse works! Thanks @hopless and the power of tinternet.

I was already missing my on-line jigwas.

I thought hobbits were immune to the 'flu?

You'd have to ask one

I've been steaming up the shed windows, an hour steady on the turbo as I didn't get out on the bike this morning, ended up sweating like a pig with feet like ice blocks. I'm going to have to get technical with max heart rate and heart rate zones if I'm going to get serious with it.

I finished the toile, well as far as I'm going to go. Just as well I didn't use the nice fabric (of which I don't have much) as I don't like the pattern style. Back to the drawing board.

I like that.

I would usually get warm and cosy on the sofa and do on-line scrabble and/or on-line jigsaw puddles, but I my mouse has gone on strike. Do they get clogged up with dust, and if so, I can I fix it myself?

Yes. We have faith in you.

 

[Speicher]

Yes. We have faith in you.

Yes, I did fix it myself. I think it was my expertise in jiggling that solved the problem. The other mouses that went wonky have not been thrown out yet, so I will try and repair those as well.

There was a Hedgehog by the bird feeder when I came back from my daughter's. I put some food out for it but one of the neighbours cat's was helping himself. I chased him off but I caught his brother doing the same thing a bit later. I've placed a sink pedestal laying down to form a tunnel and put some food inside hoping that if the Hedgehogs return they may find it inside.

I may have eaten 3 slices of Mr Kipling Christmas cake

BP is 121 /75 with a heart rate of 60. Pretty normal.

Felt a bit cruddy all day, a bit weak and heart rates up, seems to have settled a bit.

Abandoned evening walk, pavements are lethal, solid ice. Even with my old walking boots with hard Vibram soles the grip was tenuous.

It is officially rather fresh outside

Works miracles for me :-)

I have similar. Good when you're bunged or sore, but it's of not much use when the gack from one's sinuses is dangling at the back of one's throat and will not drop.

 

[Reynard]

Be careful though. Overuse can cause problems. DAMHIKT....

Umm yes. Nosebleeds amongst other things. I was on the prescription stuff for around 4 years. Now I buy over the counter when I need it.
