Canute Posted January 1, 2021 #581 Posted January 1, 2021 Don't want to "like" getting a cold. Some chicken soup/broth will make you feel better. No medical factoids there, just my observation over the years. I've got similar issues when my sinuses act up. Luckily, this happened after my flying career was winding down.

Canute Posted January 2, 2021 #586 Posted January 2, 2021 It is that time of year for us Northern Hemisphere folks to encounter the usual winter time head colds and such. Like OC said, load up on Vitamin C and Zinc and have the more focused remedies available to fight those colds. And stay away from others (which isn't too difficult these days). Work on your models, if you can.

Old Collingwood Posted January 3, 2021 Author #600 Posted January 3, 2021 Hoping to be back on this soon - In the mean time - the five KGL Light have been chilling out on the table, having a kick around with a footy ball, playing some catch with miniture tennis balls, playing hide and seek with the paint pots - but worse of all they have been swearing in German - I have had to tell them to pipe it down, can't have bad language like that - only I'm allowed to swear when things go wrong, so they are behaving again now for a bit.😄 I chased up the light the admiral had brought me (ok its only cheap) but it should have been here by the 29th Dec, thier shop in Ebay put a banner up saying they were closed till the New Year, bad service promising to deliver then not.
