• Why? She couldn’t talk anymore
• When? About 1 hour ago
• By whom? Her doctor
• Where? In his office
• How? By a needle

Seriously: I took my wife to the doctor as she was having a flu and on top of that she couldn’t speak anymore.

Now I know lots of men would be very happy to have a wife like that…

Having said so, I drove her to the doctor who gave her an antibiotics jab on the spot. Although the only antibiotics we normally take are the ones we find in honey: this time her flu was getting really from bad to worse. A running nose is one thing, not being able to swallow and loosing your voice is another thing.

Anyway, gave her a warm cup of milk with some extra honey, and now she is happily sleeping away.

That gives me 5 minutes to write this post and then it will be me doing the cooking: Mashed potatoes, mashed anything to keep swallowing easy.

Best case scenario: the antibiotics works fast (that’s the whole idea for getting a double dose injected) and she can eat normally soonest. (And I can go gardening as I am eager to put some peas in the soil…).
