The One With The Aching

In the Name of Allah, the Owner of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

As-salaamu 'alaykum, dear Diary.

Well, yesterday, my joints were aching and I eventually crashed out on the radio station admin floor: you guessed it - a virus managed to get me! Anyway, after a good amount of time on the admin floor, I went with Rasin to Tesco's about 0000h and picked up some honey, paracetamol and ibuprofen. Also, I had to make du'aa for MYSELF, as nobody else does. Du'aas are apparently out of fashion.

They've made Tescobogs lots bigger down at the bottom of Bradistan city centre: it now take up the place where Fads DIY used to be, so it's absolutely HUGE. In fact, it was soooo big, it didn't like it one bit: I mean, who buys all this stuff? The wastage must be enormous. It's obscene to even think about it!. And you have to go to the where the clothing section is to get medicines(??).... weird...

Anyway, there was a strange point during our wander among the aisles, when I had balanced a jar of honey on top of a tub of Hagen Daz (carefully, but precariously, I thought), when the honey jar slipped off the ice cream tub... it was like it was happening in slow motion: I just looked at the jar as it fell, with the feeling that it would smash on the supermarket floor, almost certain it wouldn't bounce or anything like that, and then there was the disbelief when it actually did smash... anyway, we had to go back to aisle 5 and on our way back from the other side of beyond, where the clothes are kept, a store assistant was being instructed to clean it up.

When I got home, I put about half a mug of the honey into a mug of decaf tea and drank it all down.

I'm feeling heaps better, now, al-hamdu lillah.

On a slightly different note, and before I sign off for the moment, I was very pleased when looking at the serach terms used to access you, Diary. They seem to indicate that Google (and even, dare I say it, MSN search) are doing their jobs, by directing people to me, using unobscure, realistic search terms:

10/26/05 14:23:16 "blogging: an islamic perspective" (Google)
10/26/05 10:55:31 "environmental health officer" (Google)
10/26/05 01:07:44 Always Your Adnan (Google)
10/25/05 20:20:52 Ramadan Radio (MSN)
10/22/05 13:45:09 adnan (MSN)
Bavarian Wood Exports down at 3.


Salaams and brothely regards as I sign off from the Radio Ramadan admin internet PC.
