A little whine.

Long, lazy weekend, reading books, hanging out with more family from Abroad, one from Noo Yawk, one from Torawno. Feelin’ real good, flu gone.

Then I wake this mornin’ with a cough that taste like ten garbage dump. I take Buckley’s Cough Mixture. Tastes awful and it works, the ad say. Awful? Is witch brew, camphor and ice. Now, ISP throwing tantrum.

Red, red whine…

Mmmm... which brew, camphor and ice...

Quick said...

D'oh. Witch, not which. Your whine thing threw me.

ML said...

I hope the Buckley's get rid of that nasty cough, gg!

Hey GG! I hope you are continuing to feel better. My wife makes me chew on a clove of garlic whenever I'm under the weather. She also gets out the fresh ginger and boils it. These things usually get me back up and running.

*~mad munky~* said...

feel better soon :o)

Beenzzz said...

You might as well drink red, red wine. That Buckley's cough medicine sounds like something you put in your kerosene lamp and light on fire. Hope you feel better soon though.

Caroline said...

Hey why take something that tells you it is a cough mixture - it gives you coughs and it works!

hee hee

Hope you are in blooming health soon, GG

Agouti said...

I just found you and was very moved by how you started.

I hate to admit it ( cause I live in Trinidad) but til now I never knew it was so bad.

I hope to come visit Guyana soon.

Cream said...

Sounds like red WHINE can give you Farti Compliments, Gigi...
Sorry, Elisa, I couldn't help it. Baccio! Mwah!

DaveM said...

Buckleys is the name of a brewery in these parts, so it should do something?

bakannal said...

betta u dan me an dat red whine. the cold is the flu's aftermath. had me miserable for a week after the flu flew away.

Robin said...

Nothing wrong with a little whine now and then
garlic is the answer
though I've been told, If you can eat a raw onion like you would an apple, by the time you finish, the sore throat has gone!

but also all your friends

and your stomack lining!

(I've not tried this myself, obviously)

cadiz12 said...

you're going to have to let us know which of these remedies worked, gg.
hope you feel better!

Olivia said...

Eep, isn't Buckleys the one that makes you smell like a freshly painted fence?

Well, still better than ten garbage trucks...

Zinnia Cyclamen said...

(((hug))) and wishing you more good times very soon.

PI said...

You obviously are a bit run down and should take a little holiday - if possible. I am willing to make the sacrifice of missing you for a few days. It needn't be expensive - just a change of scene. Now tell me to mind my own business:)

sablonneuse said...

Yes, it sounds as though you need a little holiday.
Hope you pick up soon.
Hugs

Hayden said...

hope you catch this bug and show it the door before it gets it's hooks in you!

Kat said...

If it doesn't taste nasty,and smell disgusting, it doesn't work. Feel better soon!

Mr Farty said...

Farty compliments from Embra too. Mrs Farty swears by Buckley's, I just swear at it.

Get well soon x

apprentice said...

I like that kind of "it does what it says on the tin" advertising.

Feel better soon GG!

Reluctant Nomad said...

Horrid coughs really aren't much fun, you poor thing. I hope it hasn't lingered too long

gishungwa said...

Ayyyy Seattle Cuz, a wicked version of the flu going around. You get it once, then it retreat...and come back more bad. Everybody talkin' about it. By the way, Pat who comments here as PI, was a nurse, then model...check out her blog.

No bun and cheese, Gela...lots of KITE FLYING AND PICNICS!!

KFM, you ain't feel sorry for me? sniff.

HAHAHA, LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF BROWN DAWG...click on the link that Nea left.

NEA, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

It's been a stressful time, Essequibo. I need a lil holiday, like PI says.

Thanks Gish :-)

It's going now, Nomad, thank you. I watched your country get whipped in cricket. Some of the guys are cute too, oh myyy.

Thanks Apprentice, you're an inspiration.

Ayy Mr. Farty, I swear at it too, I do. And thank you x

Thank you, Kat. Hope life's treating you good too.

Hayden, I'm going to buy a toy bat, it will be my symbol for batting away all bad things...flus, negative people, bad vibes, etc :-D

Sablonneuse, I agree with you and Pat, you 2 sweet souls. Ah, a little change of scene...lemme think...

Pat, noooo way I would tell you to mind your own business, you always have sound advise, you've been a nurse, you brought up a family, you know THINGS.

Thanks Zin. I'm going to work on it, a little change here and there.

Yes, Olivia, that's the one!! ewwww. cuss cuss. If your mum comes here in May as planned, make sure she gets her flu shot.

Cadiz, there ain't NO WAY I'm going to eat a raw onion! aaaaaaaaaaaa

Robin, you're wicked wicked wicked, I can see you grinning as you write :-D

Bakannal, I hear the thing lashing through GT, everybody suffering, man. Shees. One week is just about it, for true.

Ohhh Davem, so many would be happy if it wuz THAT brewery near you, hahaha

Oh good, Cream you're back in fine form with your puns, I missed them.

Hello hello Agouti, Trini neighbour, welcome to Guyana. Are you enjoying the cricket? Apart from what the Waste Indies did that day?

Caro, you're hanging out with Cream, is that it? All puns welcome, haha. Thanks for the blooming wishes :-)

Beenzzz, I now curious...I going to test this Buckley's to see if it can ketch afire for true.

Hey Munky, thanks, good to see you.

Stephen, garlic raw? sigh. Ginger tea sounds good though.

Hola again, Elisa Italia, and thank you.

Darn thing tasted so bad ML, I stopped taking it.

Pssst, Quick...and it's camphor...not Campari :-D

Michelle said...

A friend swears black chocolate takes away her cough.

This flu is BAD. I've been coughing on and off for eight weeks now.. still eating that chocolate! :)

Usually I just come here and read and lurk. Now I've finally got myself an account and can comment. Yay!

hope you're feeling better by now.

Guyana-Gyal said...
