Fortnum & Mason Advent Day 23 (tins)
I can scarcely believe we have finished a tin, but we have. Not because this is a favorite. But because Ashman has Covid. His Wednesday night test was negative but early this morning he got two positive tests.
Since his throat was hurting I told him we would drink hot tea all day, and the ginger and clove in this one seemed to be good for throats, so I have made pot after pot for him. A doctor said years ago that hot beverages do make the throat a little less hospitable to pathogens, so we are both chugging it.
I am staying holed up in the guest room with books and dashing out to cook or do laundry while he stays in the den with the tv. In spite of being wasted and weary, he checked all the antifreeze and contacted neighbors to let them know what to do to winterize.
Where is the chocolate in this tea? I wish I could detect it but I simply do not. There is clove, there is ginger flavoring which seems stronger to me this year, and there is orange, but I wish there could be a bit more orange. And of course, the chocolate.
You get two tins of this in the advent, so maybe tomorrow we will knock out the other.

Clove is anti-virus and ginger is anti-inflammatory so hopefully that gets Ashman on the mend.
Wishing Ashman a speedy recovery! I lived off of ginger, spices, and citrus when I caught covid this fall :|
Oh, poor Ashman. And poor you. I hope he gets better soon and you completely avoid the plague.
Hoping he feels better soon and that you stay well!
Thank you, everyone! He usually works in the yard and in his workshop and does laundry and walks Sam and does most of the yard work… because he likes to MOVE. He is probably so bored!
About 25 years ago, we almost lost him to a horrible case of pneumonia that hospitalized him for nine days. He is much more attentive to his health now than he was back then, so hopefully this will pass quickly.

Oh no! Hope his case is mild!
Oof! Hope he recovers quickly and you don’t get it!
Sadly, all three of us are sick now. Sipping tea and sleeping are the items on the schedule now.
That sucks! Truly the only up side is no longer having to isolate. Hope the tea and rest help!
Wishing you all quick health!
Hope you’re all feeling better!
