Got back from Spain yesterday after being there for 11 days. I've woken up to crap loads of work and i'm sat in a hoody because it's cold and wet outside.
I want to go back

Had a bit of a mare yesterday... I was sitting at my PC and I took an unintentionally large gulp of coffee, and in a split second it went down the wrong hole and then somehow ended up in my sinusses and I sprayed it everywhere... It was like a nuclear test at sea...
It went all over my screen, my computer, the wall, my posters and poster frames, and everything on my desk including my keyboard which pretty much got filled with coffee...
After cleaning everything off I rinsed the keyboard out under the tap and put it in the airing cupboard overnight... This has cured it in the past when I have spilled things over it!
This time it didn't work so I had to tear it open and clean the PCB with isopropyl alcohol and a medium bristled brush, then rinse with DI water, and left it to dry for a few hours... That fixed it! Thank goodness!
I also used the opportunity to clean the plastic casing and keys etc. It is incredible how much dirt, dust, hair, and food crumbage there was in the void around the keyswitches... Ick... Probably 5 years worth of grot.
All cleaned now and put back together. Keyboard is over 8 years old now and has been used heavily every day for that long, some of the keycaps are worn through to the clear plastic in places, but I think it still looks pretty swish!
A lot of what looks like dust (especially on the backspace key) is actually where the black is wearing through.
Its a Ducky Shine 2. A testament to the quality of their products! It weighs as much as a house brick, and could do some damage if used in anger.
It's like you've tried to scratch out the L key from your life - what did it ever do to you?

The C key is just as bad, and several others aren't far behind. I might get a replacement keycap set for the main section of the keyboard somewhen, but honestly you can't really see the wear unless you shine a light directly on it.
Was just drinking a cup of tea watching this guy get quite comfortable outside of the summer house. He was there for about 20 minutes before he decided to make a move when I opened the window.
I only wanted to befriend him

My Ducky Shine 2 is also still going strong (and in need of a strip down and clean) and I agree with you. I've always felt like I could take my chances if I used it as a blunt weapon.
One of the most interesting original research articles I've read this week, by a collection of researchers from various places (including Kings College, London) related to Covid 19.

Random thought...if a yoghurt has 10g of protein and it takes you 5 even mouthful to eat it, is each mouthful 2g of protein?

You get what i am trying to say. Had a long week.
Why not just eat the whole yogurt, that way you would get 10g of protein. Why would you eat a yogurt just by a mouthful? lol
Don't take it with a spoon just drink the damn thing. Jees these protein buffs. Smash a couple eggs over ya face while ya on.

Okay bad example with the yoghurt.
