Yesterday was a bit of a tough day. I caught something, probably on Wednesday, possibly in the pub. I got diarrhoea almost instantly, and struggled to sleep that night. Things got worse and  worse, so that yesterday I could hardly  do  anything. I’m bloody fortunate Serkan is currently living with me to help me sort stuff out. I was so knackered from not sleeping  that  I could barely move, and controlling my body seemed more  difficult.

Today, though, with the help of a no-fat diet and some pills from the chemist, I feel much better. It was probably just one of those short term, 48 or 72-hour bugs which the body fights of quite quickly. Nonetheless, it was quite an unpleasant experience which I suppose teaches me to be a bit more cautious when going to the pub.
