I'm coming down with some upper respiratory thing. Whiskey helps, but the effects are temporary and one can't drink whiskey constantly and still function. Tea, on the other hand—one can drink a lot of tea and it's as efficacious as whiskey in its way. And, since I read it on the internet and so it must be true, chocolate is good for coughs. Not having enough of either around the house, we went to Ellwood Thompson's today, where we picked up some Côte d'Or Noir de Noir chocolate bars and a few kinds of tea we'd never had before, including red bush tea, so we could pretend to be like Precious Ramotswe.
I may not be cured already, but what with all the chocolate and tea, it's easy to ignore my sinuses.
