Neighbour boys were happy with their winegums and I've got enough left for about any hypo. The bug or whatever it is is making me feel more wet dish cloth like by the hour but mood is definitely improving by trying to kill the bugs with cheap whisky.
The only downside is that it really isn't drinkable without a big splash of water. Perhaps I need to invest in something a bit above cheapest German Aldi whisky quality next time.
One of the small dogs is very happy with the effect of the whisky. She has been insisting that licking my eyes is the best treatment and I finally gave in. Not sure about the wisdom in that but it feels very nice to my sore eyes, and letting her do her thing is a lot easier than shooing her off.
Dinner will be comfort food. Either a pan fried 'tostie' (2 slices of bread filled with lots of cheese and chorizo, fried in butter, eaten with a mayonnaise based sauce), or the same with the bread substituted by 2 beaten eggs. The first accomodates my needs, feeling under the weather and wanting comfort and my mum, the second tastes good as well and frees me from heavy diabetes duties.
I'll see what happens when I'm in the kitchen.
