Cold and flu remedies
It was brought to my attention yesterday that I omitted a few viral components of the Irish approach to cold & flu management in my blog. Which is fair.
I really wanted that hot whiskey. And I got it, even if I ended up spilling half of it over myself (I sneezed. It was painful. I'm ok though).
Anyway, back to the other remedies for cold & flu.
This, along with some Lemsip (not pictured cos it's all the way in the kitchen & Al is refusing to get it just for a picture...) is the essential kit for curing cold & flu, imo.
Now look, there are loads of natural remedies and other medecines... but these are the ones, with the hot whiskeys, that I turn to, when in mid-cold.
Without the Vick's, I'd be struggling with breathing. Seriously, bowl of hot, almost-bur-not-quite boiling watwater, lump of Vicks in it, towel covering your head & the bowl... this will cure any blocked nose. And sure, the night time ritual of getting Vick's rubbed into your chest & back helps loosen up the chest.
Orange juice & water are for fluids. Tissue should be obvious. As should Benylin.
I'm also teaching a class in 2 hrs.. I'm almost certain no one will catch this thing over zoom, but sure, we'll find out, won't we?
Normal service will resume soon...

Well, for a start - it's bloody hot!! Look, I know - 79F isn't that hot compared to half the US right now. But it's bloody hot in Ireland! So, this could be summer and frankly, we've had a week of it. We've had an audit, we've had a few minor crises, including one of my making, there's been a lot going on. So I kicked them all off site and told them to go home. Now, am I an awesome manager? Well, obvs. But more than that. I claim the title of "oíde". And there's links to leadership as well as...
Yes I'm back talking about the Great Famine again. And we'll be moving onto our duties as members of society as well - again linked to Brig Ambue. Y 'see, I believe in practical spirituality. For me, unless we're practical about our beliefs and our practices, what's the point? I know plenty of people disagree with me - just look at the state of fundamentalism of all sorts in the US right now - but this is my standpoint. It doesn't have to be yours. Brig Ambue care about the ones who were...
