Cat hair.
Even the most houseproud of us know all about the old joke about 'fur-niture' and dust bunnies the size of sheep crouching under the bed and forgetting to remove throws from said fur-niture before inviting callers to sit down and the guilt on realising that these guys are going to go home with hairy bottoms ...
And I'm not houseproud
For the last few months I've been getting very cross about my 6 year old laptop keyboard, which has had a thrashing: zillion drafts of The Novel as well as lively contributions in the past to snake forums etc, surprised it's lasted this long. My 'd' key began to stick...an th n th 'e'...an th 'f' an I was b ginning to snarl an us som v ry naughty wor s an phras s NOT b ginning with 'arn', 'amn' or 'rat' ... more like 'uck'
W ll, you g t th pictur. 
I was not a happy camp r.
Then someone on here mentioned an aerosol duster (good on them and thanks because I'd never heard of these) and I found one for £3.99 free p&p from my friend Mr Amazon and gave it a go last night. It didn't half blow out some fluff and dust, but loads of fuzz remained, so I thought I'd run between the keys with a handy toothpick, just gently ...a tuft of something appeared.
I pulled it, and a caterpillar, a veritable HAIRY WOUBIT, climbed out from between the keys!
Honestly, it was over a centimetre long and as thick as knitting wool, and no prizes for guessing what it was.
Impacted cat hair.
I persevered and unearthed some more of the fearsome beasties, and had another go with the aerosol and now my keyboard is much improved. I fear a woubit or two is still lurking underneath the shift and space keys, but apart from that, any typos are now caused by Lil and not by hairy woubits.
But who'd have thunk it eh?
