So much for the no-red-wine idea. Pal and I were invited round to a neighbour's house on Friday. We took a bottle of champagne and shared it with our host and the other guest - a woman of about my age who lives in the same apartment block. After that we graduated on to white wine and red wine... Not a good idea. Never mix drinks. We all know this but we still did it. I drank very little of any of it but still emerged with a headache.
And what was on the menu? Two Dutch delicacies: sardines with onions, followed by thick pea soup with lumps of ham, fat and sausage suspended in it!
Does this make you want to throw up? It does me. And Pal actually did throw up - fortunately after we'd returned home. We don't know if it was the champagne, the wine, the sardines or the pea soup but we had one completely sleepless night; Pal nearly bent double with pain and jj rubbing his back, hoping that the hands-on healing would work ...and asking if we should perhaps be walking downstairs and round the corner to the hospital emergency department. He eventually managed to get to sleep. Yesterday was a wash-out. Today he's better but still in pain when he eats. Hmmm, doesn't sound good.
I'm steering clear of wine for the moment - even if it is an antioxidant!
