Hayfever.
Thankfully I never suffered from hayfever as a young’un, but as old age creeps up on me I’ve noticed the introduction of a few of the symptoms. Hits me in London, as I enter Bloomsbury where the plane trees abound.
Anyway, this is mild, really really mild. Itchy eyes, tickly throat, stingy nose. I’ve seen people who have it bad, eyes streaming and all the rest.
Now I begin (just begin) to understand how awful it must be for those kids who have to sit exams through the high season of grass pollen. Sorry guys.
