Gastric Not So Fantastic

'Projectile vomiting and explosive diahorrea - just two of the treats on offer when you come to our house for dinner! Same time next week?'

'No thanks, I'm washing my hair.'

Ugh. I've been suffering with a gastric bug courtesy of the Naughty Nieces. My brother's had it, my mother and now me. The bathroom in my new flat is about 25 years old and is going to be my first major project, let's put it this way, it's not got the kind of toilet that you'd want to have to become intimate with.

Unfortunately this inconvenient little sickness has coincided with a particularly busy week and also comes as I'm about to go off to my very first Rhythm Riot.

I don't want to feel icky as I'm jiving my way around the dancefloor! I want to enjoy the fantastic bands and make the most of the people-watching opportunities. I love the 40s and 50s 'scene', the gorgeous girls with their bright red lips, cute men with period threads, the vintage cars, the great music and most of all the wonderful dancing.

A green complexion and rumbling guts doesn't fit with my picture of the perfect Rhythm Riot experience. Here's hoping that I can kick this by tomorrow!

Bleurgh! Poor you! I do hope it clears up for good before the dancing - you don't want to be jet-propelled!

Oh God, you poor thing. It reminds me of our last, dreadful ski trip...

I really hope you feel better soon.
