…How do I know that Summer is here? 
Apart from the warm temperatures, the glorious sunshine, the sticky nights, the long days and the blue skies…hay fever, that’s how! I thought I’d managed to avoid it this year, but no. I can feel it starting to make its annual appearance.
I can feel the sticking in the corner of my eye… the itch that needs to be itched; the ahh when the itch is itched; the vengeance of the itch when it returns. The swelling around the eyes. The redness of the eyes (inside and out)… Evil itch. EVIL.
I can feel the sneeze beginning to build. The tingling within the nose and / or throat. The watering of the already itchy eyes. The ear-piercing bellow as the sneeze escapes. The soreness of the nostrils and cheeks. Wretched sneezes. Reddened noses!
Followed by yet more eye watering… and itching… and ahhs… and twitching… and streaming… and sneezing… and vengeance. 
Vengeance not from the itch this time, but in the form of hay fever tablets. One a day ‘non-drowsy’ miniscule pills to take in the morning. Every morning. Miniscule tablets that promise a rapid relief from the itching and sneezing and other symptoms associated with hay fever, without drowsiness.
There’s too much vengeance here. No wonder the hay fever is winning…
At least it’s Summer. Can’t complain…
