Well I'm pleased to report that my taste buds are slowly returning to normal.I made myself a diluted orange drink on Sunday and it actually tasted of orange and not some awful , strange brew..Encouraged by this I made myself a cup of coffee and it actually tasted like a lovely cup of coffee..I never thought I would get so excited by the fact that food and drink tasted as it should.Some foods still taste a bit strange but normality is very slowly coming back.I'm beginning to feel less tired too and my cough at last easing..I'm pleased the temperature has returned to more like it should be.Roll on summer.
