Well I don’t actually have a picture of it, but for the past 21 hours or so I’ve been stricken with something nasty. Maybe it is norovirus, sure seems like it might be.
Here’s what’s been happening to me:
Every time I drink something (which I have limited to water) I get some wicked cramps. 
Haven’t eaten anything since lunch yesterday.
I really was hoping to get a picture to make the blog authentic, but a camera was the last thing I was thinking of. I promised Doug I’d snap a pic of my next trip to the bathroom.
Ironically this week’s infosheet is all about norovirus, you can find it here.

Perez Hilton reports that last night, lead singer Fergie was noticeably absent from the group’s show in El Salvador.
The group’s singer did come out briefly in sweats, a cap and dark sunglasses (left, exactly as shown) and told the crowd that she ate some bad seafood and was not well. She sang one song and back to the vomitorium.
The band has already said they will make it up to the Salvadorian people with another concert real soon.
The Melbourne Magistrates Court was told that barmaid Emily Craig, 22, served a drunk customer a shot of Pine-o-Cleen as a joke at a Melbourne nightclub causing him to become violently ill.

Ms Craig’s defence counsel George Balot was cited as telling Magistrate Bill O’Day that the incident happened at 6.15am, on March 4, adding, "I will be putting to you this was a misguided joke at an ungodly hour. It is not a malicious act."
