Feeling Just a Little Sorry for Myself!

I related to my faithful reader yesterday about my sore throat etc. Don't panic - no gory details in the offing, but this morning I had to get up, shower and dress for the organic veg box man to call; this actually does make you feel a bit better (no, the shower and dress part, not the organic veg box man, though come to think about it......... )

Today I have lost my voice. Many people would send up glad cries about this.

In the veg box came potatoes, carrots, onions, a good sized cabbage, 2 leeks and 2 smallish celerys (celeries?) together with a bag of chillies. They sent a recipe for a soup using celery and leek, so I shall give it a try and let you know if it is successful. The fruit was several apples, 2 pears and an orange. Also get 6 organic free range eggs as usual.

Treatment for a lost voice:
Large quantities of preferred spirit, as strong as taste allows, eg whisky, cognac. Numbs the throat, and in sufficient quantities you stop caring anyway.

Love, M

We-ell, sounds just the thing I would have recommended myself, but I am currently not enjoying anything stronger than a glass of wine.

Advice proffered by a sage medic in such situations, which I take no credit for and merely relay to you :

1) Find a good hat.

2) Hang the hat at the end of your bed.

3) Pour yourself a decent single malt whisky.

4) Add water to taste.

5) Drink the whisky.

6) Repeat until you see 2 hats.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, ho hum :-)
