    Strong head, weak stomach

    I was on a roll with my writing. Half past midnight and I didn’t want to stop. But I took a sleeping pill anyway, knowing it would be about 90 minutes before it started to kick in. Then I washed it down with a toasted wholemeal crumpet w/lashings of golden syrup.

    Oh, Yuk. Golden syrup at this time of night is not good. 45 minutes later and I still feel sick. The writing is over for the day.

    Sounds like not everything got along well internally. Hope you're feeling better.

    I've always preferred Vegemite on my crumpets.

    Golden syrup is so good in the morning, but too rich for night time snacks. Hope it didn't lay heavy on you all night.

    I've noticed this happening as I, er, mature. I ate way too much peanut brittle last night,(the kind that's soft and pink colored) paid for it till the wee hours.

    i should slow down before it gets me into serious trouble

    try alka seltzer or something fizzy like barroca, it usually settles the ole tum tum

    Golden syrup? Like maple syrup? Stuff makes me sick too. Prefer Jam. Drink lotsa water.
