Nilly, I *love* the idea of a hands drabble.
Also, you CAN write. I offer this as proof:
my grandmother used to do that, with her long beautiful damaged-from-decades of hard work hands, which were stronger than mine even when she was in her seventies and I a healthy teenager. And then I thought about how, after my grandmother passed away, my mom started to pick up a few hands gestures of hers, gestures that she never used before.
Also, it sounds like "squeezing" is the right word. You could also use "wringing." Mop is probably the right word, though.
Wheeeeeeee! Yay me!
Nilly, I expect that so many people will want to give you things that you should plan to ship a box or two of goodies before heading back home. *grin*
My tagline is not "Swouncing" for nothing. You guys!
[Edit: not being able to spell in this thread is especially edit-worthy]

What exactly is "Swouncing"?
Thanks! I'm going to look for it.
Swouncing is swooning and flouncing, as only Nilly can do.
Bouncing. Swooning and bouncing.
Nilly's coming! Bouncebouncebounce.
I had words. Gone now.
Oh! Notebooks are good for writing in cafes or hotel lobbies or other places where the laptop is not. I have loads of pretty journals, a shelf of filled ones, and at least that many more still blank. I give them away, lots. The last one I wrote in I haven't filled yet, and the first date in it was 2001.
Legal pads, on the other hand, are the bomb. Especially the ones with pastel-colored pages of heavier-weight paper that take fountain pen well.
Monday morning, drabblers (at least in my part of the world), and you know what that means....
