h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

J'ai mal aux dents, j'ai mal au tete aussi (to adapt the lyric by Faust - http://www.faust-pages.com/music/jai.mal.mp3 ).

Och! I have a right sore head, which I think is a side effect from my BP meds.

My teeth are also playing up, in spite of yesterday's treatment. I feel miserable. Eating brings on horrible pain - well, not horrible; minor and unpleasant is more like it - and I'm sitting hugging a hot water bottle to my face and constantly rinsing out my mouth with luke-warm tap water - it works for a while, then I've got to change it. I was drinking it, but, 20 pints later, decided that spit was better than swallow.

I have just written a 'work' report, but I could barely focus on what I was doing. Concentration was impossible.

Still, I managed to sleep OK last night.

I have an appointment to see my GP on Friday.

Pasta'n sauce for tea, but I'm dreading having to eat it.

I wonder if I'll be able to go to sleep if I crawl off to bed?


Douglas (aware that Susan has the same problems with her feet)

Sorry about your health problems Douglas. I swung by the office a few hours ago to say Hi. You weren't there but your office sharer was. We had an interesting and enjoyable (well I found it so) conversation.

See you around
