another day, another ban from Reddit.

Who knew asking for reliable sources would get me banned!

Reddit is off my menu now - permanently.

Recommendations for covid cures solicited! Vaguely sensible things, not vinegar up yah clachah/s who am I kidding? Daft ideas go

You can kill it with chilli - not my idea

A cat applied to the lap as a makeshift heat pack.

Then snacks.

Chicken soup wonโ€™t cure you but it sure will make you feel better. Panadol or nurofen will help with fever and aches.

[โ€“] Eagle@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Garlic and horseradish tablets to dry out the snot. Lots of fluids. Rest. Panadol. Eat little bits when you're feeling like it, I lived on rice crackers and cream cheese last time.

I've had it twice. First time was very rough, solid 2 weeks of existing on the plane of pain.

Black lemon honey tea helps, if only to get sugar and water into you. Bread as it's a neutral inoffensive food. Lots of water, sleep whenever you can to jump forward in time.

Keep cosy and comfortable

Wish I could help, but I can't. So far I've missed having it. Sending get well soon vibes.

I seem to remember that icypoles/icecream apparently helps a bit with symptoms. Worth a try.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm on round 2 official, but probably 4. Pretty sure I spotted you at the thing, but piked on waving.

[โ€“] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No probs - interesting crowd. Enjoyed a few convos with random strangers there. Loved the singing.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where there is David there will be singing! And oft intentionally daft astrological predictions

My kind of guy

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

every time I think I've had it I've tested neg. I think it's was just bad testing

I found lots of sleep, vit d , and drinking water helped the best

Since Nellie has decided to leave for a wifi-less locale, perhaps this specimen might be a new mascot

I have a huge list of garden chores, most chores are very small and easy. I will do those first otherwise, overwhelm.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

1am pork crackling? Don't mind if I do!

It's a beautiful sunny day to sit and watch the remaining cypress trees fall.

The weather forecast says mostly cloudy, but someone forgot to tell the clouds. I got to an early start today, the dog has been walked, breakfast eaten, I have watered the front nature strip and moved about 6 carts of dirt so far. I think of moving the dirt as an arm strengthening exercise, but it's really a whole body thing. Every shovel full also involves squats and bracing all the core muscles. Which means everything should hurt tomorrow, not just the arms!

Edit: looks like the clouds were no available, the forecast has been changed to mostly sunny. I've moved another bunch of soil, at the rate I'm going I might even get finished by lunchtime.
