Saturday Night Hay Fever


This week I have discovered a downside to retirement and it is called "hay fever." Now it is not that I haven't suffered in the past but, at home this week surrounded by Spring flowers and a constant breeze, I have well and truly succumbed. Kicking myself for planting all those hyacinth bulbs in the autumn, they do nonetheless look stunning in their pastel shades of blue and pink. However, my eyes, nose and throat are paying the price for their beauty. Fortunately it is not yet sufficient to want to cut myself off in an air conditioned office in the middle of town surrounded by brick walls and tarmac.

In an air-conditioned office you would probably pick up other peoples colds or flu - you are much better off looking at your hyacynths from afar...

I am in total agreement with that, although I'd rather not have the runny nose and sore throat on either count!
