Am living through a litany of lotions and potions, pills and powders.

Thus far, the past few days have included:

• paracetamol
• lemsip (max strength)
• vicks vapour rub (v sticky)
• benylin
• strepsils
• tyrozets
• lightbox (first outing of the winter)
• multivitamins
• rhodiola rosea
• cod liver oil

The remarkable thing is that I’ve had to buy none of these remedies. I already had them.

It is a full time job making sure you don’t rub on the benylin or swallow the vapour rub.

Late night update:

To to above list, add

• Tea Tree oil
• Glenmorangie
• Almond oil

It has been a sticky kind of a day.
