I have been jabbed so many times, and drunk so much awful stuff and had so many chemicals pumped into my veins, it’s hard to think of something funny to say about it all right now. (btw I know also that there are vast numbers of people who have to go through much worse for much longer, I see them everywhere)

One thing that really surprises me is that the food manages to live up to its terrible reputation; I always felt airline food got a bad rap and suspected the same about hospital food, but now I know that fish pie, potato bake, hot pasta, and chicken anything all arrive looking like exactly the same lump of unappealing yellow stodge on a plate. At least the jelly is good.
