    Sorry you still have cough 🗣. 
    I recommend whiskey/hot water/ honey or sugar 
    You should sleep after that 😼

    if no whisky available then brandy/ rum perhaps ...

    Thank you everyone :)  

    I don't think the cough medicine worked particularly well, but I did have a better night.  Woke regularly to have coughing fits but it wasn't continuous.  It hasn't been quite so bad today apart from a few coughing fits so hopefully I'm on the mend.

    Best thing is the work week is over so I can just chill for the next few days.  We don't have any plans.  Maybe go and try and find little miss's artwork on the trail, but we might wait until DH can come.  He is still working.  It looks like he might be getting the cough too, hopefully not as bad as mine!

    I've made all my payments, but still haven't done the totalising.  Better catch up on that over the next day or so.

    Hope everyone is well :)

    My DD had mild asthma as a child which caused her to have an awful cough at night and I found honey and lemon worked better than any coughmedicine she was prescribed.
