Snotty

TMI, I know, but I've just become the latest in a long list of victims to catch THE COLD. A particularly vicious little number that has your face exploding as you sneeze and cough simultaneously. Yuch! Rumour has it that, like a hurricane, it blows over in 2 days. I hope so.
(I rather love the fact that French cough mixtures don't go for soothing names like "Chest-eeze" or "Bronch-kalm.". No, they all have names chosen by men in white coats like "Alfa-Amylase Biogaran" or this one "Prospan.". I mean it's not sexy is it? Best of all is our fab homeopathic treatment which goes under the sexy moniker, "oscillococcinum" which we familiary call "ossi-cock-a-leekie". I ask you.)
