Evil!

In some traditional Chinese medicine, it seems, the Common Cold belongs to a class of elements which is among The Six Evils.   I wouldn't argue with that.   Having started with a dry cough driving north on Sunday, it has progressed to the stage where I have taken to bed.   Upper Respiratory Tract is a mess.   Managed three hours sleep last night.    The worst moments are when the inevitability of a big cough is fast approaching and you know just how sore that is going to make your head and chest muscles feel.

Enough information.   I shall lie here and contemplate mortality.   (OK I know I'm perpetuating the myths about men and colds....... I don't care because I don't believe them!)
