I already know I feel a bit shaky when, in the car to a meeting with a government advisor, I am violently sick into a fortuitously, and bizarrely, available Fortnum & Mason's carrier bag. Thankfully it is sturdy and hole-free. I discover later that the meeting is postponed anyway.
Still, that's me out of it until the next afternoon. At least the don't-eat-anything-for-24-hours treatment seems to work, and I just sleep it off. I'm a bit cross about the waste of time though: there's so much to see and do, and so little time to see and do it in. For instance, I see on MSI's website that they are featuring a Dhaka woman who went from sex worker to Marie Stopes's volunteer:

I missed the interview with sex workers. Drat
