Quick visit to the local quack, only for her to come up with this little nugget of wisdom;

Breathing is good for you, you need to keep breathing.

There was some other gubbin’s about needing to take deeper breaths and possible pneumonia if I didn’t breathe properly, but that particular phrase stuck in my mind!  I think she figured out I wasn’t hugely impressed by the idiots guide to medicine she had just dispensed, as she had the good grace to look embarrassed and slowly go quiet.

I smiled; she was young and fairly pretty looking after all..
