Feel really crap today,bad nights sleep with the coughing ended up sleeping upright in the chair,managed to get up in time to take the kids to school with Sarah,when we got home Sarah said i looked awful and sent me to bed till 11am,then we went to Tim's mums in wincanton to do some more gardening,pruned the last of the fruit trees and cleared the side path along with the budlia and brambles,have looked at the trees Tim has given us,theres a lot more wood than i thought.
Once home Sarah cooked a lovely curry,she is a gem when i am ill.Tonight i am running out of benilyn cough syrup so i have turned to a very old recipe we used to use back when i was a kid and there was no money about:
Country cough mixture.
1 large swede,peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick.
8 oz of sugar.
place the swede slices in a crock and layer with the sugar.place in a cool place and leave for a couple of hours,once a syrup is formed just pour off and replace more sugar,once the swede looks dead bin it and start again.I have no idea how this works but it works as good as any cough mix you can buy.
Its 10pm and ime off to bed,hopefully i will sleep better,my dear wife is stopping up late for the washing machine to finish so she can dry the boys school uniforms for the morrow.
