I saw this painting recently in London. It purports to be St Monica being handed her newly born son who was to become Augustine of Hippo.

I have had Garlic Mash three times in the past week, and Garlic and Horseradish on a steak last night.
I do not have a cold, so maybe it will work for you – or at least act as a preventative when am next at St Mary’s.

Kelvin, have you tried mulled wine?
Sachets with the mulling spices in them shouldn’t be too hard to get hold of (try Peckhams). They look like little teabags. Add a dash of orange juice, maybe float a slice on top as well. : )
It might not do much for your cold, but at least it’ll help you sleep, which is what you need right now — rest and fluids.
Also worth trying is a Hot Toddy.
Hope you feel better soon.

It seems to be a widely held view amongst women that men make much of their sufferings when they get a cold.
There is an urban dictionary definition here.
There are some who say that the female equivalent of a mancold is the flu, but I could not possibly comment.

If Ms Asphodeline is fed up of hearing about my poor state of health, presumably it will be quite a while before we hear anything about her own on livejournal.

I hope you feel better soon. There’s nothing worse than a man

Note that the sticker contains a subliminal message designed to make people believe that if that actually encounter the SEC then they will be…

Time for an Ascensiontide hymn
[youtube:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=F83nC4H5koU] And whilst you are listening to it, you can have a ponder as to what on earth (or in heaven) is going on over at Kimberly’s blog.
