DIY day

I just need to express my hatred for Superglue. It comes with a handy twist-off lid giving the artful illusion that you could use it, put the lid back on, and then open it again at some future date without the lid superglueing itself to the tube and needing to be wrenched off with pliers causing a glue haemorrhage and sticking your skin to the object you wanted to glue.

Also, my cherished childhood belief that only diamonds can scratch glass has proven to be a fallacy. In fact, sandpaper scratches glass very effectively. I discovered this when I got careless with the electric sander on a wooden window-frame that was looking a bit decrepit.
