Headache? I hate the word - as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.

Sign in the changing room at the Muswell Hill gym: "Nurofen Capulets available at reception."

In other news, I've got myself a book on Japanese. I now know how to say "Good evening, honourable Totoro. Nice to meet you." Which should come in very handy if the catbus should call by our house one of these rainy nights.

Actually, I could really use a catbus round about now.
