The swizzle

One ingredient turned out to be more important than all of the others in that recipe. The swizzle. Turns out I have viral labyrinthitis, which explains why I was feeling so crap this morning. Basically it's extreme dizziness and nausea caused by a virus getting into your inner ear. It got worse after I posted, and I had a bunch of dizzy spells over the weekend so it all fell into place when the doc peered inside my ear canal. I can't work like this. I have felt ill all day and dizzy for most of it. So it's off home (or somewhere) to rest, a course of antibiotics, and anti-nausea drugs for a couple of days.
