I must see my pharmacist

I have a sore throat. If I went to see my pharmacist, assuming that the pharmacist was not me, then they would say that I should either buy lozenges (useless!) or a gargle. The two gargle options are Difflam or an iodine based one. The iodine one *apparently* is very effective. But it tastes foul so not many people use it for long enough for the effective bit to be apparent. And Difflam just doesn't do much for me. Then there's gargling with dissolved aspirin (I put the dissolved in just in case any of you thought that I was going to try gargling tablet... hehe that would be funny). But aspirin doesn't agree with my digestive system. Even when I just gargle and spit.

So I'll just tell everyone here instead that I have a sore throat. I have a sore throat everyone!! A one day history of a sore throat does not warrant a trip to the doctor and my doctor is on holidays til the 11th of September. If my sore throat is still here by then maybe I'll go and see her :)

In other news, I think my mp3 player has just died! Argh! Come on little buddy, you can do it!
