There is a reason why only people who are off sick watch daytime telly - they're too damn ill to turn it off. I swear if I'd been off any longer, they could have used my brain as an interesting scientific example of a new type of vegetable. Can you believe there are whole promotional shows dedicated to one type of celebrity-endorsed makeup? Where were the cartoons? I managed to catch the last five minutes of a Mr Men cartoon, then it was chat shows, 'pin a label on the psychologically impaired' shows, American reality shows featuring lots of really unpleasant people, countless 'sell your junk' shows and numerous repeats of Come Dine With Me. And why had I never noticed before that almost every advert is for food or drink? Just what you need when you're struggling to keep a glass of water down. I will admit to a sneaking interest in 'Project Runway', however - it's always interesting to see how budding designers will fare making couture garments from plastic cups and nappies...
Anyway, if you're still with me after all that ranting, I promise to try and be a little more chilled next week. And if anyone could suggest something that a vegetarian recovering from a gastric illness could eat apart from toast, I would be most grateful...
