今日は1日どんより曇り空、時々雨、という鬱陶しいお天気。今年のイギリスは本当に、いつもにも増して酷いお天気。太陽大好き、ではないわたしでさえ気が滅入るお天気が多過ぎて悲しい今日このごろです。
It's been a miserable gloomy day all day today, very dark and cloudy or some rain. Even for England, the weather this year has been a total rubbish, very depressing. I'm not one of those who love the sun and gets the sun when it's out but even I'm finding the weather too miserable.
夫の風邪はすごく酷い風邪ではないものの、軽いとも言えない、中程度の風邪のようで、わたしが日本から持って来た風邪薬を飲んでいます。イギリスの風邪薬って熱を下げるのと体の痛みを取ってくれるだけで、鼻の症状は別のお薬、喉の症状はまた別のお薬を飲まなくてはいけないし、あの風邪を引いている時の独特のしんどさに効くものはないので、辛い時は日本の風邪薬に限ります。
My husband's cold isn't so bad that he has to stay in bed (well, he very seldom stays in bed for a cold), but not a very light one either, I suppose it's medium degree and he is taking the Japanese medicine for cold. I cannot find good medicine here, you have to take one medicine for fever, headache and achy body, another one for your blocked or runny nose and another one for throat pain, another one for cough. I haven't found any that takes away that dreadful feeling you have when you have a cold here. Japanese medicne gets rid of or at least reduces all the symptoms, so he takes it when he has a cold that makes him feel unwell.
ということで、全然食べられない訳ではないけれどそれほど食欲はない、という状態なので、最初は夕食はミネストローネスープにしようかと思ったのですが、夫が大好きなチリ・コンカーニが冷凍してあったのでそれにしました。サラダはいらないというので、それだけ。珍しく、シャンツァイを切らしているのが残念。
So, he isn't so ill that he doesn't want to eat anything but he doesn't have enough appetite to enjoy food like normal. I first thought I will make Minestrone soup as soup seems good when you aren't well, but I found Chilli Con Carne in the freezer and he preferred it so that's what we had. He didn't want to have a salad so that's all we had. Unusually we run out of coriander leaves so it doesn't look very appetising but we enjoyed it anyway.
