summer flu

Big Jim is safely back in Islamabad. (The precious Boo waited up for him all night downstairs by the front door :-(.) He kindly left me with his flu. We spent our last few days together making tea (we have these fantastic herbal teas from Germany specifically for bronchial and sinus infections; they are the best!), comparing phlegm, and inhaling Olbas oil, which frankly I believe should be designated a narcotic given its addictive qualities, although according to its ingredients, it is just a bunch of essential oils. So forgive me for writing just a short note now; will resume regular blogging when the fever lifts. Hasta pronto, mylifeinspain
