In scientific experiments, lack of gut bacteria makes mice unhappy and listless - they won't bother swimming to safety and that definitely happened to me - I too forgot how to swim to safety without my biome.
This enthusiasm for all things bacterial might not be making me the best company at parties - best avoid me until I'm past the honeymoon phase of this particular relationship.

Summer popped briefly in to the UK last month - then we had a referendum - Summer buggered off leaving Squally Showers to punish us for being pillocks.Our political landscape has become a surreal farce with various overgrown schoolboys running away to hide behind their mother's aprons while peeping out to point and laugh at the Punch and Judy show going on in the Labour party. Our next Prime Minister will be one awful woman or another awful woman, which might be better than a series of awful men - but not much.
Our political landscape is also dismal. In four months there will be an election to replace one awful man with either an awful woman or another awful man. I would rather vote for the bacteria.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
bacteria already rule the world and they make much better decisions than many people - and they can make mice happy. I hope your weekend is lovely xx

ReplyDeleteI was going to vote for the pirate party, because I thought they might be fun.Then I realised that we've been governed by pirates on the Ship of State for years.
And, one week down and STILL COUNTING... we are officially still un-governed.
There's some very dodgy bacteria, too.Especially in politicians!
Looks like Justin T will have to extend his remit
