I fear I am not long for this world. Two days ago, I woke up with a sore throat. Yesterday, sore throat, aching, tired and lethargic.

Today, my nose is streaming like a tap and burning up, I feel like there's a concrete block on my head, my eyes are running, I've lost a lot of my appetite, and I am as grumpy as %$&^.

I made myself a hot-toddy at midday, by mixing the juice of half a lemon, a generous dollop of honey, a glug of whiskey and some boiling water.

It was lovely while it lasted and soothed my throat and nose, but I can't keep drinking them one after the other. Can I? 

I think I'm going to bed

You've been cursed by that dodgy garage owner James.

Are you sure it isn't the Chinese sniffle, James?

As long as its not the same bug I got after Christmas that has taken 3 blooming months to go----------

Of course you can keep drinking them one after the other, silly boy.

Maybe cut back on the honey a bit

And the lemon.


And the water.

I had a particularly bad dose of manflu a few weeks back.  Well, it was actually the chinky sniffle thing.  I don't seem to remember about 10 days of my life.  And even now, I struggle with energy levels.

Not sure where I got it, as I was mostly isolating due to suspected shingles, so possible I got it from quacks whilst having that diagnosed so I could have pills.

 Sex will help raise your energy levels provided you don't have a heart attack and die.

I just use plain old brandy at the first sign of any sniffles flu etc etc,  always does the trick for me , sometimes I have it just in case..😄

Well they do say prevention is better than cure

Visited my dad last week. SIL tested positive as did I. Felt grim again for a few days. Back home now, today is first day I felt well. Read somewhere that 1 in 20 have the chinky bug at any moment. I can believe that. Same here in Spain. Ah the joys of the Chinese.
