Thu 17 June 2004 - The guinea pig

Tonight I’ll spend an hour being a guinea-pig. The Sunday Herald-Sun have enlisted my help in researching the effects of passive smoking. My task is to sit on a station platform for an hour (better take a good book), not cringing away from smokers quite as much as I usually do, and then go and perform a urine test.

My reward for this joyous activity? Merely the knowledge that I’m contributing to the cause of medical science. [Cough] Buy a paper on Sunday for the results.

It’s also Marita’s 34th birthday today. Head on over and wish her a good one. And yes, I’m going to the Bangarra performance too. Well, after the urine test that is.
