Just coughing and coughing and coughing
is so very tiring. I haven’t had a cold, just this irritating tickly hacking cough.
I shall be putting the ice grips on my shoes this morning to go up to the market, hoping to find the village market gardener. I’m worried about him. He wasn’t there last Saturday, shrinking inside his ancient greeny black anorak. He only puts the hood down in midsummer, even then wringing his hands in a feeble attempt to warm them. His leeks, carrots and sprouts are like him, a bit wizened and small – I think he’s so anxious to sell them that they are never allowed to mature. I feel sorry for them, His potatoes are good, though. We aim to buy locally produced food wherever possible.
It’s been a few days since you posted…hope you are feeling better !
Still coughing, but I’ve just been busy – baking this morning, sewing ladies this afternoon, whacked this evening. I’ve also put some serious effort into selecting, editing and submitting poems. – Oh and tidying my workroom, which is more like mucking out because I don’t allow my cleaner in there.
Nothing worse than a nagging cough like this; hope it resolves sooner than later. It is nice you buy locally; I’m sure it is appreciated.
betty
Ah, feel better, Viv. If/when you get a chance, could you look at my latest poem in French, posted for dVerse poetics, and give me corrections! Merci.
De rien. ‘Tis done, and sent back to you by email.
Hot honey, lemon and ginger or Ricola Original Lozenges helps me when I am coughing. Sally
Sorry about the nagging cough! Take care of yourself!
Happy Saturday!

Please don’t let the cough linger too long before getting it checked out. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Oh my, feel better real soon!
I had a cough that lasted 6 months. I actually found cola worked best. It was recommended by my niece who swims for the olympic team. It works!
Hope that cough leaves you soon.
Best wishes, Dear V. If I had gone to Med School like my mother wanted, I’d fly over with a cure for your common cold. Best I can do now, from here, is wave my magic wand.
Hope you feel better! I got cold just reading about having to put ice grips on your shoes to go out! Stay warm!
I struggled up the hill in the bitter cold, with the intention of getting some cough lozenges in the pharmacy. I forgot them, because I didn’t cough once – that is until I was inside the warm house again!
Hope the marketeer is well and your worry eased there. As for the cough, seems everyone in our church family has it or had it with no other symptoms just that irratating cough and nothing seems to help but hot tea with lemon for a quick soothe but doesn’t rid. Get well soon.:)
My aid is three sips of cold water every time I cough: I am awash! I did try hot blackcurrant and honey. No good.
bet if your like me the waves crash when you walk LOL there doesn’t seem to be a cure or even a temporary fix guess we will just have to keep praying for a healing.
Sorry to hear about your cough. Get Jock to rub some Vicks on your chest
Who or what is ‘stuck in your throat.?’ What can’t you say, as in ‘cough up?’ Symptoms can often be understood symbolically and in the doing, they are healed. Hope you mend soon.
Sorry, Viv. So many coughs, wheezes and worse about this winter. Wrap up warm, hon.

You could warm up in Australia but your cough might be worse with all the smoke.

Yes I did – gave up 30 years ago.
oh thats not so good, I hope your cough gets better soon and that the gardener is back selling his yummy potatoes
