I’m sitting here in a quiet empty house, fending off a rather unpleasant sore throat. My parents and sister are shopping in Truro but I decided to stay here rather than brave the mediocrity of that town. I’m quite confident I made the right choice.
I’m listening now to Tom Cochrane and Damhnait Doyle’s cover of the Bruce Springsteen song “Secret Garden“. I enjoy it quite a lot. Of course I’ve been a fan of Tom nearly all my life, but I’ve never really given a listen to Damhnait Doyle’s music. I must remedy that. The album this is from is a double CD tribute to the song’s creator titled Light Of Day – A Tribute To Bruce Springsteen. When I have some change I’ll likey pick it up, especially since proceeds go to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation and the Kristen Ann Carr Fund.
Back to the sore throat, it’s staying a minor annoyance now that I have resorted to the trick of gargling with salt water. Perhaps I will win the battle against this cold. My fingers are crossed.

Damhnait Doyle’s hot. I have the same outfit that she wears in her tattooed video.
I can’t say I remember what she looks like, but her voice is rather nice.
Gargling with salt water is usually very helpful, but also try taking a garlic supplement (no, they don’t give you bad breath) and if it’s really, really bad you could try gargling with watered-down peroxide (but be especially careful that you don’t swallow any and don’t do it very often). I’m an expert on sore throats, having had a lot of them and been around a lot of people that also got them often; it comes with the territory in university choirs and Opera workshops.
I hope you fell better soon. *hugs*
I have no garlic supplements around here, so I’ll be sticking with salt water and Jamacian Ginger Beer (similar to ginger ale, but much more potent).
Thanks for your concern. I think I’m over the worst of it. *knock on wood*
