Woke up with the mother of all hangovers after drinking rivers of white wine at the Steam Bar last night before blacking out.

Met up with Christina from Austrian TV, who has come over from Vienna to do a report on the blog and my recovery. We're going to spend all day tomorrow filming. The hangover was kicking in big time but through sheer force of will I managed to avoid throwing up in front of her. I hope she appreciated the gesture.

The hangover has continued into this evening. I'm already a day late on the deadline for my BBC News Online article but somehow I've managed to fight off the nausea for long enough to write 537 words. The way I'm feeling it's a minor miracle I'm able to write at all.
