I went to the doctors today as I had had stomach pains for three days; Harriet (one of the cleaners, comes from Cheltenham) said she had similar symptoms and had had a Norovirus, and had to be hospitalised, so even though it didn't feel that bad, I went anyway. It turned out it was a Norovirus, but I just have to wait for my body to battle it itself. I met Alice after she had finished work, so we could go to Rustys, and Chante, a South African girl, came with us...

Didn't do much today except sleep. In the evening, Christophe, a German guy staying in our room, and Avi, an Israeli guy, invited me to have some of their dinner, which whilst they were cooking it, looked like such a random mish-mash of foods (even to my standards) that I thought it was going to be revolting but was actually really, really tasty.

I was ranting to Alice and she asked me if they were black and blue, pointing out to Mo's bed which had them plugged into his phone… grrr! This evening me and Alice went with a couple of people from work and Billy, the night...

I rang Alice after I had finished my lunch shift, and it turned out she was next door in the pawn shop, looking at cameras as she had regained her 'I really need a camera' thoughts last night. She came in and was telling Allen this, which prompted him to take us to Harvey Normans, where I brought some headphones (I'm pretty sure one of the Germans had taken my old ones, but because they were iPhone ones, i.e. ones that a lot of people have so hard to prove their ...
