Dinner last night, cooked by Angela who fretted that cooking a la Nile Delta, 200 BC would be inedible. She was wrong. It was fantastic - duck with peaches is my all-time favourite duck.
At her shop, Ange let me look up a book in our library on Librarything.com .... fantastic! Yes, we didn't have it, so I bought it.
A discussion with Ange (parent of and spouse of type 1 diabetics) lead me to a web search for rehydration all-in-ones: I find Boots do one which has salt, potassium and vitamin C. Like packing underwear in ones hand luggage will ensure the safe arrival of the hold luggage, I feel that having some rehydration aid to hand will prevent the disaster of Diabetic Ketoacidosis....
And still one question remains: is wearing an insulin pump infusion set into a bath (onsen) in Japan likely to cause offence? I have probably been unduly influenced by Mary Douglas, an anthropologist who points out that what people (in all cultures) think of as 'dirty' is simply 'things in the wrong place' (think of a hair on your head, or in your comb, compared with your hair in your soup).
