2.2 "overheating"... once in a while

Hi everyone, 

I have a 96 ej22 in my 99 legacy gt,

i was driving along the other day and noticed my temp gauge getting a little on the high side.

it was right between the H and the temp symbol

which isn't really "overheating" but it's abnormal and higher than it should be.

I was driving about 50 mph in 5th when this occurred.

It happened again about a week ago.

I checked all the fluid, they are fine, 

no bubbles in the exhaust, no abnormally high or low coolant levels in the radiator overflow container (?)

no power loss, 

I haven't checked the thermostat yet, but if the thermostat was failing wouldn't it be a constant failure? not random?

has anyone else had similar issues with their ej22?

Thanks!

If the thermo was just sticking closed on occasion that would explain it. The 2.2 isn't known for hg but I've seen my fair share.
