Never too old to learn

Despite my ever-increasing middle age, today I learnt something new.

I was doing some research for Julia's planned #13 when the phone rang.

I put the mouse down and went across to the instrument where it was resting on its charger.

It was a wrong number!

I went back to the computer and discovered that the act of putting the mouse down had in fact selected some resource that I had not wanted.

A sentence caught my eye, and I went further into it.

I never knew that roses do NOT have thorns.

Seriously!

Those annoyingly piercing things are called prickles, and not thorns.

I can think of at least 3 popular songs that are factually incorrect, now!

Something learnt today, then!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
