What sort of life are you getting? Given the price, I'd hope at least five

I haven't had one run out yet (18 months and counting). But the Duracells were lasting only 6 months. They're cheap smoke alarms.

I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose
Drinking fresh mango juice
With goldfish shoals nibbling round my toes
Fun in the sun
