…as the undertaker might say to the chemist.
I woke up coughing at 6 o’clock this morning. I reached out for the glass of water placed prudently on the bedside table. I aimed it towards my mouth. Pity I was still lying on my side.
Anyway, when I actually woke properly to get up, I heard the cuckoo. I suppose everyone else has heard it for the past three weeks, but I haven’t.
It is, of course, obligatory to use the definite article in reference to the cuckoo. I don’t know why.
Double strength laxative is ggod for a cough. You daren’t!
I trust you’ve written to The Times.
Ugh, I hate when I wake up coughing. . .It’s really not enjoyable at all.
NyQuil is my drug of choice.
It’s because there is only one. Of course.
honey/ginger and cloves in hot water and orange juice.
Fine advice from all. Thank you.
