Losing It

Came close to losing my voice completely in the early part of the day, having been struggling with a sore throat and aching head yesterday evening. It was a reminder of a couple of occasions years ago when I did completely lose my voice in my first school  in this Far Place  and had to conduct lessons through writing on a whiteboard. These days there's not much in classrooms in the way of spaces to write, so if my voice had disappeared completely it would have probably been impossible to go on. Fortunately that didn't quite happen.

I'm hoping that drinking a special potion from The Missus will help things along and my voice will be stronger tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Despair not, young people. Honey with lemon did the trick for me, plus gargling with salt water. I was a bit surprised that no one provided a nice cup of tea for me as I taught my lessons today, but you can't have everything.
