Sore throat. Aside from this being a half-forgotten experience for me -- haven't had a cold or coldlike symptoms for...well, a long while -- it's painful. My mother's helpful contribution was to pour whiskey into my mug of tea. Uncertain as to what exactly this was meant to achieve but hey, excuse for whiskey at 9am. Not complaining. If we had any Jack Daniel's I'd probably be on a second cup right about now.

Dammit, I hate being ill. Worse is that I can't work out where I might've got it. Cinema maybe, or that small demonic child who cackled behind me on the bus all the way into town the other day. I thought she was asthmatic but maybe it was a cold.

Which confirms my long-held belief that small children are, in fact, small demons in human form. One day I will own a town and instead of "No Dogs" signs, there'll be "No children" signs on every shop. Ah. Thing of beauty.

*hugs back because internet hugs are wonderfully germ-free*

*curls up with it* That actually sounds wonderful. Mmm. I might go see if we have any lemons.

It's good.

Then again, I use it as replacement for tea and coffe which I do not like :D

It is.

I drink far too much tea and coffee but sometimes coffee isn't so good for colds and such. I still firmly believe in the miracle powers of a cup of tea though. ;)

*pets* That's not good. *sprays you with anti-bacterial stuff*

Also, camomile or peppermint tea should really help your throat. I am an advocate of camomile w/ lemon and honey.

Nope. More annoying is that watching House is making me convinced I've caught it from something I've done or used recently. Hugh Laurie induced paranoia, mmmm.

Confession; I hate camomile tea. >_< I just don't like the taste at all. Never tried peppermint though. *ponders* I'll have to look for some. Internets is recommending raspberry leaf tea which I also don't have. Damn my lack of preparation!

Peppermint is good, but sleepy making. I like lime blosson tea when I'm ill.

When you get your town up and running, can I move in? I won't bring children OR dogs.

As for your sickies, I LOVE Gyspy Cold Care tea, but I don't know if you can get it across the pond.
