Michelle and I are recovering from a serious bout of that intestinal malady which are notorious on cruise ships. We got it from a friend of ours we visited on the weekend. She was recovering from it, and we caught it. We both woke up with a chunder on Tuesday and spent most of the day in bed. It made me feel like I had been thoroughly beaten all over with hammers. Luckily I had a canister of Gatorade powder in the cupboard, so I was able to keep us hydrated and avoid the worst of the side effects.

It was interesting to me because it's the first time I've vomited in about 18 years. I well remember the last time, I was living in the storied Cyberspace warehouse in Glebe. I had just eaten a tasty doner kebab, and washed it down with a sixpack of VB stubbies. I got the signal, and made it to the dunny just in time to regurgitate a large quantity of still-clear beer and a floating raft of chopped parsley. The fact that my insides had so cleverly sorted out the nights repast was highly amusing to me.
