Just got a rotten cold and sore throat. This morning I was thinking of my mum, I was a child who always seemed to have something or other. I can remember my mum looking at me and saying "child you are full of cold". And then it was honey and lemon to sooth the throat, Vick on the chest covered with an old hanky, bread and milk (did anyone else have that) as it slipped down nicely. When I started wheezing it was the inhalation of Friars Balsm and a lamp that used to smell very strongly of, I think it was, tar. Wrapped up on the sofa with books and toys until I stopped wheezing it was almost worth feeling rotten. I need my mum today!!!!
