The Lurgy

We are now on round two of the dreaded seasonnaire lurgy.  We had a fresh supply of drugs sent from home and are already half way through the stash.  We are both coughing as if we smoke more than Dot Cotton.  Some colleagues have given up and headed down to see Dr Al and got on the antibiotics, keen to save €100 and let nature take its course we are sticking it out.  Our morning routine consists of plonking a effervescent Vit C tablet in water, a few drops if echinacea, 2 teaspoons of cough medicine and 2 max strength paracetamols - and that's before our morning drink of ginger, honey & lemon.
