If you’ve ever spent much time in the hospital, you know how bored you can get. That happened to me recently when I was in for quite a long stay.
I’d run out of books, got tired of TV and wasn’t all that mobile. I was desperate for something to do. Luckily, a kind nurse turned up a Marvel coloring book and a tub of crayons. Kid stuff, but I was in no position to scoff.
All this hoo-ha about Prince George being left handed had me wondering if being a leftie is a good or bad thing. For starters I was a little surprised to learn that currently less than 15% of the population is left handed, here are a few other things that I came across in my travels…..

Chameleon Color Tone Pens are now available in the UK.
These double ended pens have an innovative refillable alcohol based system that enables you to change the colour tone of the ink without the need to use multiple pens.
I’ll admit it, when it comes to erasable ink pens, I never much liked the now 5-year-old Uniball Fanthom.
The ink seemed a little washed out and it never quite erased all the way. Simply put, there were other pens that did it better than Uniball.
Now? Not so much.
