I might be told to change my style altogether (awful thought, as I don't think I have any other).<br /><br />Nevets - for goodness' sake recycle your grater and move on. Or see a counsellor.(Actually I'm a counsellor, and my charges are very reasonable. If the WIP bites the dust, I may well need the money. Special rates for writers, of course.)Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-78612855975244152282010-11-17T10:16:34.440+00:002010-11-17T10:16:34.440+00:00I can't start a new novel either until I know ...I can't start a new novel either until I know what's happening with the last one. <br /><br />And I put my grater in the dishwasher.nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398443646324855212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-19853204399447762392010-11-16T20:45:45.833+00:002010-11-16T20:45:45.833+00:00Throw away a tool for which I might not yet see it...Throw away a tool for which I might not yet see its potential for new and amazing uses?C.

That's where the book idea fell down - not enough material (unles you include re-using vistitors' sheets or never cleaning the car; mine has moss growing on it). But I thought the title was rather snappy (and an intidote to those two awful women on TV who go around looking for dirt in people's houses). Sigh. This waiting is really getting to me...<br /><br />Nevets - so now you can throw away your grater, can't you?Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-18127468632174197322010-11-16T18:10:21.101+00:002010-11-16T18:10:21.101+00:00haha They do, but up until pretty recently the qua...haha They do, but up until pretty recently the quality wasn't nearly as good as freshly-grated cheese. It's still not exactly the same, but it's much better and that's usually what we do now.C. N.

I think I'll whip our living ones down the road to the laundry (we don't possess a tumble dryer).<br /><br />By the way, what else can you do with a tumble dryer.
