Dreamt last night about going for a walk and finding a guide dog, with harness still on, wandering the streets. Took it back to the house where I was staying, and then when through a very difficult process of finding a phone number to ring. Eventually in the dream I realised there must be a blind person out there somewhere, abandoned by their dog. It was a very new dog, with a new harness... I think this was brought on by reading Pam's thesis on the train last night which is about barriers to employment for blind and partially sighted people. In there one of the study participants talks about not being taken seriously at work because of the dog - I have met people that get kindof clucky and emotional about guide dogs, so I can see what they were driving at. Amazing how readable social science thesis are, not like mine.
Just signed up as a guinea pig on a probiotic study, or more truly, signed innocent baby up as a guinea pig on a probiotic study. Some work has already been done and it will be good if the sprog manages to miss the family asthma and hayfever inheritance...
