Awake and up all night

No Gilly, but thanks for the offer sweetie  xxx

I love shorter ladies asking me if I can reach the top shelf. It's akin to feeling like one of Jason's Argonauts.

I don't think the blokes in Cleck are as gallant as you Uki, my fine fella. They seem to prefer to watch the struggle - almost like a spectator sport.

I'll have to start charging them!

It's a late night for you hon xxx

Koo just catching up but who revealed what this afternoon???

Hay fever, yeah, often thought of as 'just the sniffles' ... err no! Can be so debilitating. I have prescription antihistamines I take everyday, my allergies include anaphylactic reaction to latex etc but sometimes the hay fever breaks through.

I can have really loud 'white noise' where I can't breath easily, can't see and not just from streaming, itchy, swollen eyes, I can't think ... it's like the histamine is screaming ' LET US OUT'.

Ahem I mean, hay fever? Me too. It can help if you work out which particular pollen, so grass or trees etc.

Some people find nasal gels to trap pollen helps etc. No laundry outside, windows closed.

Removing clothing you have worn outdoors, showering, washing hair ... all convenient when you arrive at work or the supermarket or the doctors . Pets will be covered in it too.

It's official, the pollen season is longer than it used to be, plants have evolved! It may be that there is more overlap of types. 

I have a phenomenon whereby if I really like a product in a supermarket, it disappears with a 'its discontinued, it was really popular!' Huh?

Probably means it will come back repackaged, renamed and with a luxury price tag!

Everybody have a few degrees cooler today?

Cheers

If only I could eat a barrel load. I've got to watch my sugar intake as my last blood test showed a high blood sugar reading. I use Stevia to sweeten things.

Much cooler here, ta Shimmer.

I pretty much put up with the effects of hayfever now, as almost 55 years of having the damn thing has lessened the debilitating stuff. Maybe my system has built its own immunity, sort of?

Anyway, the revelations weren't mentioned on here but on another group to more good friends. They were about the rapid decline in just about everything in the town OH and myself live in. I was being facetious with Debs. 

I hope you're coping with your hayfever my love xxx

hello uki i am always grabbing men in a supermarket as i cant reach things.

I remember when my children were little, one supermarket had a shelf of sweets and chocolates very low to the ground. I was paying for my shopping and as I was leaving with my very little boy, the lady on the till said " Excuse me, aren't you gonna pay for those sweets".I replied "What sweets". "The ones your son has".I looked down and my little boy Ben was indeed holding some sweets. I firmly replied "Oh I thought those were free, especially at the ridiculous height you've put them, so that only toddlers or hobbits can see them". And we walked away. Well the manager came over and there was a big todo. I explained my point and gave him a piece of my mind. The following week at the supermarket,the sweets were no longer at the till. Power to the people.

 oh, Sonia. Stop! I'm crying here xxx
