And finally...............

.................out comes the penicillin

Terrible night's sleep and for once not all the cat's fault. I awoke at an ungodly hour for a Saturday coughing up a lung and with a tremendously painful sore throat. And so to the out of hours doctor we did go..... nice man, prolific teeth, obviously been eating a lot of chalk salads....and the nice man did give me a shit-load (that's a technical term) of penicillin.

I am now hoping for a swift and deadly blow to be dealt to this malingering cough/cold/sore throat-fest. I have things to do, like peel more pickling onions and cook things....and have a bath and wash my hair before I start to smell like a pickling onion.

Fingers crossed for the anti-b's.
