This flat is a place of mourning. We are all afflicted with this bug.
The big question is whether it's helpful for weigh in tomorrow.
Now recall this - I have nasal polyps which means I haven't had a sense of smell or taste for over twenty years. Yet after just one cup of that boiled nastiness from Iulia, there is no other sensation throughout my entire system other than the sweetness of onion. It's everywhere. My nostrils seem full up to the brim with onion, my tongue feels like an onion, and my breathe can only be onion vapour.
And I'm still coughing the same. Except there's more onion than before.
The other thing about getting ill, particularly at my advanced age, is you realise the point is coming where you're not going to feel any better than you currently are. There's no going back - maybe it's permanent wind pains, or sleepless nights, or aches in the body. One day that's going to be the best there is.
So in a way, the Romanian onion treatment has a twisted logic. You think you've lost the positive times - well drink this. Eh gads, that's awful. Why did you give me that?
Because in a couple of days it will pass - there, you have something to look forward to.
You were warned 😁
