Alas and alack and woe is me, I have gone down with severe, galloping man-flu! Mind you, the 'Memsahib' is also fairly woeful given that she will spend much of the next few days running up and down stairs fetching cups of tea. Still, as I keep telling her, you can never do enough for a good husband. I will not repeat her reply it would not be suitable on a polite, proper blog like this! Anyway, fear not, dear readers, I will battle on bravely and you will not hear a word of complaint from me, er, well, except my next cup of tea is a bit late . . .
David, feel better and tell the Memsahib to mind the stairs.

Thank you, Whiters, and I shall pass on your helpful advice!

Did you take Cold Eze at the first scratchy sign in your throat? I believe you had been so advised. If not, you have my deepest sympathy. If so, you have no one to blame but yourself. It works, and the only downside is the reduction in whine material. The generic is zinc gluconate, and, as always, it may be sold under a different name, over there.Get well soon, and all the best.

Sorry, 'Nursie', but there was no warning and no throat problem - I just woke up this morning with snot dribbling down my chin and non-stop sneezing. I am considering cyanide!

Sorry, BOE, but this blog prides itself on its detailed accuracy which is why you trust so implicitly!

Perhaps you should have a new policy - avoid too much information.

Well, as least there are no photos.

Get well soon, David!
I recommend steady consumption of ardent spirits. (But that's my answer for everything...)

Thank you, Malcolm, but you are 'preaching to the converted'!
