I have a date at the nest tonight, but horrors of horrors, I also have a sore throat, and have had for a couple of days now. I don't want to give a cold to R, as if his wife catches it, it will be yet another set back on her slow road to recovery.
So i am sucking, sucking throat sweets in the hope all symptoms of anything vaguely infectious, will disappear by this evening.

That said, we just have to avoid kissing on the lips. But anywhere else will be just fine
And as I told PIP, sex is great for getting rid of colds, so really this is what the doctor ordered.
