I'm kinda sick now, with my good old friend the flu.

I've been rather susceptible to it since I was a kid, and I expected it to be something I'd grow out of. I don't mean not fall ill with it at all, but at least less often.

But as usual, the initial sore throat I had a few days ago escalated into a flurry of nose-blowing, sniffling and wet coughing.

Bleeaaaggh.

Apart from my vulnerability to influenza being the same, medicine still tastes just as awful as before. Either bitter, tasteless or sickly sweet. With all the flavouring technology in the world, why can't they make pills taste like chocolate or cough syrup like ribena.

Now that's using science for the good of mankind.
