a travesty

Someone has changed the recipe for Five Flavours lifesavers. This yay is VERY NOT IMPRESSED. They used to be clear as well and now they’re opaque. And much stickier than before too.

How exciting and terrifying and exciting!!
The last time I went to this particular hospital was for my TB test in 4th year pharmacy. At the time, a popular medical drama (which I don’t watch any more because it’s all drama and no medicine) was being filmed in a ward next to the chest clinic and [...]

thieves!

Someone has stolen:
1. My hole punch
2. My white-out pen
