The Cure

24/04/2014
Over the past few weeks, I’ve not been terribly well. Bronchitis was the doctor’s diagnosis and it has gone on and on.

I thought it might be helpful to share the advice that I’ve been given in order to get better. After all, it could happen to you.

- lemsip
- going to the doctor
- cough medicine
- reflexology
- vicks vapour rub
- steroid inhaler
- steaming
- aromatherapy
- eating oranges
- look after yourself
- steam room at the Arlington baths
- don’t use the steam room at the Arlington baths
- go out in the fresh air
- stay in
- decongestant
- garlic
- orange juice
- vitamin C tablets
- multivitamins
- menthol crystals
- staying under the duvet

I presume, as I am still sneezing and coughing that I’ve missed something. No doubt someone will helpfully give me some further advice.

This is only a passing shower – the real rain is still to come 🙂

No, according to the papers today it is to be scorchio on Thursday – 82 degrees or something similar. Oh no, sorry, that would be everywhere else in Britain apart from the West Coast. sorry!

I am able to access the site by PC as well so I can catch up but I thought I’d better let you know.

Rain has reached us fueled by a vicious South Easterly gale.

Left Glasgow Airport at 9am this morning in torrential rain. The sun is currently shining in Gloucester (@4:45pm) – now was there not a nursery rhyme about a Doctor going to Gloucester in a shower of rain?

(Very) Reverend rainmaker.
The rain seems to have coincided with an upsurge in the number of native American musicians in the city centre, although I think last year some of them were playing ‘The Flight of the Condor’ and claiming to be from Peru.

You’ve seen nothing like the weather in the Isle of Man in the last 48 hours. Storm force and severe storm force gales and torrential rain have forced ferries to be cancelled, and there is more severe weather forecast for tonight. It prevented us from visiting the adjacent island (England) today.
