Oh dear, I’d conveniently forgotten that the arrival of spring, long-awaited as it usually is (and especially this year, which was the longest winter I can remember experiencing here in Basel) unfortunately also means the arrival of my hayfever.<\/p>\n
I shouldn’t be complaining, I know, since a) a lot of people suffer much more from it than I do (like Sandra, who has to take cortison against it) and b) I’ve already gotten a late start, since normally I’m already starting in late January, with the first hazel pollen… But still, it does kind of ruin the pleasure of going for a walk – I’d been really looking forward to it, but when I was outside, my nose started feeling all ticklish and my eyes and throat went all scratchy, although I had armed myself with nasal spray and eyedrops before leaving the house.<\/p>\n
I guess it’ll be another month or two, when all the early bloomers are done, until I can truly enjoy the lovely sunshine. Achoo! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
