kittiwakeGerman archaeologists think that they have found the tomb of Gilgamesh in Iraq.
The air-conditioning in our office broke down this week and I got a few funny looks when I fished a fan out of my drawer, snapped it open with a flick of my wrist and started fanning myself. Well that's tough! I can't stand a hot stuffy office and we are always having problems with the air-conditioning. I even selected a blue fan to keep at work so that it matches the furniture.
I had a voucher for Boots so I went up to their new healthy living section and bought some Pink Ginger Cordial. It is very pale pink, so by the time you've diluted it, it isn't pink anymore. Mixed with sparkling water it makes a drink that tastes like ginger beer; bittersweet and warming. Last night I tried it as a hot drink, but it was a disappointment. For some reason the lemon flavour (which wasn't really noticeable in the cold drink) overpowered the ginger so it just tasted like a hot lemon drink. I'm going to have to try out the ginger tea recipe (an infusion of root ginger) that was posted on MF.
Regarding exercise - Last week I got both a letter and a message on my answerphone from the gym asking where I've got to recently. Must do better.
