Oh god. I just had to run and hug a cushion and drink tea, all because of a pen.

See, my green pen (cases are green...) ran out - disaster! - so I had to buy a new one. Harder than you'd think, given I don't like biro for my notes, just gel pen, but I found one, and was quite happy.

I just made notes, and idly flicked the non-nib end of my pen over the paper while reading a case on screen.

When I looked down, stripes of the green writing had disappeared!

A search on the internet reveals my new pen to in fact be a magic pen.

I don't know whether to be scared, or buy hundreds...


Edit: Unrelatedly, reading cases about chocolate makes me crave 70% dark chocolate, which I don't have (...they were talking about how they make it. Damn them.) and now I'm reading a case about the Wombles.

doo-di-di-doo dee-di-di-doo...Welcome to the Twilight Zone... AKA my head.


Edit of Edit: ...dude. I only just realised why the defendant was trying to call his skips company "Wombles Skips".

All together now... #Remember you're a Womble!#


Edit Edit Edit: The next case is about Sesame Street and the MUPPETS!!! *loves*

WOW. That pen sounds AMAZING. I must have one. Maybe...won't write notes in it though...

This site has them... I may have just ordered some in more colours...

Seriously, it really does completely erase. I've now moved from scared to fascinated!

I was visiting a colleague a while ago, and noticed she had some 100% cocoa solids chocolate on her desk. "Yes," she said, "I can't eat the 95% stuff any more. Too sugary".

I have in the past had that feeling. Fortunately I've now weaned myself back down to a more affordable/available level of cacao solids!

I only just discovered this existed in bar form, as opposed to just as cocoa powder. I got some in my Christmas stocking. Haven't tried it yet - I'm saving it for a day when I really need it :)

Warning: the notes I wrote in washable blue ink are nearly invisible now. Though I suppose that's water in the atmosphere and you're unlikely to accidentally cook your notes.

Have taught Duncan to drink cocoa made with 100% cocoa and no added sugar, rather than minging `drinking chocolate'. Ha.

Well, these should be ok unless I do cook them... that, and most of my notes up to now are in Uniball EYE fade proof, water proof, possibly acid proof pens (Seriously, I threw notes in a puddle and apart from being crinkly they were in mint condition once dry...)

Huzzah for being geeky about pens :)
