The symptoms never went further than a scratchy throat, chills, and tiredness. Feeling better today than yesterday so I&#8217;m pretty sure that was that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still cold, though. I don&#8217;t like drinking tea or coffee, and hot chocolate is too sweet, so I warmed myself with a hot glass of low-alcohol <i>gl\u00f6gg<\/i>. It&#8217;s traditionally a Christmas drink in Sweden, but I&#8217;m not Swedish enough to care about that and can happily drink <i>gl\u00f6gg<\/i> all the way to February.<\/p>\n<p>Not being used to hot drinks, I need to be careful about the temperature of my drink. Coffee drinkers are sometimes like fire swallowers &#8211; how they don&#8217;t damage their mouths, I have no idea. There&#8217;s a narrow range of temperature where it&#8217;s hot enough to warm me, but not hot enough to burn me. Hence my improvised glass cosy, to keep it in that range.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately I thought &#8211; I should knit a proper one! No, I should not. I would use it literally once or twice a year at most. A sock is a much better solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am almost but not quite coming down with a cold.
