Sorry, I spoke prematurely! I can't have been listening properly. Now, surely! Any minute! They go off the air in ten minutes.

Bump! They just mentioned it coming up, any minute now...

I have wooden shutters on my bedroom window and thought it already kept the room pretty dark but there was a gap where a neighbour's security light shone in. I had a wooden strip nailed to the shutter to close the gap and the difference has been huge. Having near-total blackness has been a real...

Wow - for overseas folks who may not realise, this is a massive thing in the UK.

Also good ideas! The advantage of the small capsule (and they are very small) is that you don't taste anything. Some medicines are extremely bitter.

From another thread, a very useful comment:

I posted this on another thread but perhaps it's also relevant here: Many people have problems swallowing large tablets and capsules. As far as capsules go, it's possible to buy empty gelatin capsules on Ebay, Amazon, etc. so that you can open your own large capsules and decant the contents...

I think you can also buy a special tamping tool for extra (unless that's another company's version I was looking at), which I think would give you more accuracy. Perhaps that's how they do it at factories. The way I'll be using it (decanting one cap at a time, to make sure of the dose), it...
