A little while back I noted the recently listed ‘medifact’ that a winter cold or ‘flu-associated cough is liable to last up to eight weeks.
Well, we’re half-way through that period and to my dismay I find that my cough, which had been slowly disappearing, has decided to pay a return visit. Morning, noon and night, I seem unable just now to settle to anything before the next cough session comes along and I make a further demand on the UK supply of disposable tissues.
Hey ho. I’ll live, but it looks like I’m in for another couple of days of less than optimum living. Thank heavens for rum.
This evening, Graham was coughing away merrily, too, so I told him the eight week story.
“You gotta be kidding,” he spluttered.
If only.
