Sniffles
I have a cold. You think I would have gotten one immediately when I came from sunny Australia to frosty Sweden, but no. I guess it was the 300+ people crammed into an auditorium busting a move to N'Sync that did it. I knew there was something dodgy about that.
Anyway, I'm at that stage where everything is itchy and yuck. I keep sneezing and my gums are all tingly. I hate being sick. Boo.
And yes, I am drinking lemon and honey. Lots. I think my blood has become lemon and honey.
Wah. Feel sorry for me.

I hope you feel better soon Em.
Poor Emma. Have a blanky.
Poor Emsy. Have a hot toddy with lots of whiskey along with the honey and lemon. That'll knock you out... or at least put a smile on your face to combat the grimness. ;)
*looks at weather thingy*
Ooh, you too are having a mini heatwave. Kinda.
Poor Emma.
Just do not sneeze on Rian again.
I'm baffled. Toddy? Is that just tea?
Yeah, do you have a good recipe?
Hah. Hot toddy is pretty much what Sky said - it's honey and lemon but with a good slug of whisky added too. Never tried it myself, and I suspect I wouldn't like it, but I knew a friend's mum who had one every night before bed...
Hot toddies rock!! You haven't lived until you've had one. Although, they don't have quite the same effect when you're not ill. But when you have a cold, they are truly awesome. Almost worth being ill for.
That said, I think they have to be made properly. Steve makes the best hot toddies in the known universe... amazing things. I don't drink whiskey at all normally, but when you've got a cold, it's fab stuff.
His recipe goes something like this: - the juice of a whole lemon + some pulp - a tablespoon of honey - a decent measure of whiskey - topped up with just-boiled water. You can also add some ginger if you like. Fabulous. They warm you right through to the core. Your cold woes will be over in no time.
