A Bug's Life

A few days ago I spent a very clammy and revolting hour or so with my hands in a bowl of alphabetti spaghetti, trying to make a sentence. It's something I dreamed of doing as a kid, but the reality was pretty cold and disgusting, and very, very slow! I'm glad I don't have to compose all my words that way. When Imogen May lost her speech, the NHS gave her a laminated card with the alphabet on, to spell out words with. It is a little quicker than spaghetti, but just as useless for telephone calls. The picture below links to her web page, where she is raising funds to buy a cool and useful communication aid.
