Diarrhoea is my second favourite word in the whole of the English language. Last year I used it in a call-and-response at a Hallowe'en storytelling event I was doing at Hardwick Hall in deepest Sedgefield. How heartening it was to hear an audience of a hundred or so othewise respectable adults and children shouting 'Diarrhoea!' at the top of their voices...

Anyway, I'm cured now, and today I found myself heartily tucking into the various samples of exotic cuisine on offer at the European Market at St. Annes, though I didn't risk the Kangaroo burgers. Maybe tomorrow.
