Christmas is over

Had to go to the shopping centre and the display is in the middle of being dismantled.
Had to admit defeat and go to doctor today as having really bad coughing fits - which causes great embarrassment to me and to any unfortunate bystanders.  Confirmed I haven't got a chest infection but put me on anti-biotics to prevent one.  Suggested drinking warm water when I feel a 'tickle'.  Trouble is I don't have much warning and don't carry a flask of hot water around with me!
