Turbo-writing switch

This little switch on the side of the laptop -- the one labelled 'wireless' -- is clearly a turbo switch for Nano-writing. With the switch set to 'off' I have written nearly 5K today, as well as having my first lie-in for months and slothing around on the floor with Ozymandias.

Which means I still have ~45K to write (yes, yes, very slow to get going) but I am confident.

While the interweb is an excellent writing-aid*, it keeps turning into a writing-replacement.

*notes-to-self I am about to answer include:
- tidal flooding in Essex 1940-1945
- car models and relative costs, 1946
- dates of tracks on this Django Reinhardt Greatest Hits compilation
- how to build your own quantum mirror with 1940s technology (what? everything is on the interweb, isn't it?
- oh, and where my copy of National Velvet might be, and whether I can acquire one easily if mine is in a random box in Sawston.
