G wasn’t very well yesterday. We had wondered if it was swine flu, but I’m not convinced it is. Anyway, G asked me to buy a thermometer, so I had a look for one in Sainsbury’s on my lunch break (they don’t sell them incidentally, or not in the one I went to anyway). I was scanning the shelves to see if I could spot one and I noticed that the top shelves of one set of shelving had lots of remedies for children’s ailments. On the shelves directly below these remedies were all the contraceptives. I wondered if this was a subliminal form of contraception warning of the dangers of sex – years of dealing with children’s coughs and colds. Perhaps even sponsored by the Catholic Church as a form of aversion therapy?
I did buy a thermometer but from a pharmacy. You don’t seem to be able to get mercury type ones any more. You now only seem to be able to get ones with a digital display. I think the woman in the pharmacy must have realised it had been a long time since I’d bought a thermometer given that I did ask if the had the other sort. I just thought one without a battery was a bit more long lasting. Ever practical…
G doesn’t have a temperature as it turns out, having checked about 15 times. The only time G’s temperature went up was directly after having drunk a mouthful of tea. Funny that.

I have some Tamiflu tablets if G needs some!
Hope G gets well soon.
Kahless - are you like an internet drug pusher?? I picked some tablets up for G today, but I don't think it's swine flu, so they are likely to go unused at the moment.
lmfao!
I forgot that you are a principaled person! Alas no, not a drusher (my new word for drug pusher), at least in not this life anyway!
Kahless - well kind of principled. I have been known to use the occasional work pen at home. Although it normally ends up at home because I was using it to do some work originally. I do like to live on the edge.
Inventing your own words? You're like the Samuel Johnson of the 21st Century. Do you get to talk about drushers a lot??
Actually, every now and then I celebrate a new word that comes tumbling out.
Google pissoem - a word that tubled out of me in 2007 - and I am number one on the google search!
Kahless- I hadn't realised your many hidden talents.
