Welcome to Spring. The time of year that I dread the most. I suffer pretty badly from hay fever, and as soon as the weather turns a little warmer it hits. I've decided to keep using medicine this year as a way to keep my daily life in some form of normality.

The funny thing is, I never suffered from hay fever at all as I was growing up in Australia. It was when I moved to Japan, and even then it was 9 months after I moved. I guess this is a side effect of not having been exposed to the kinds of dusts and pollen that exist here until I was well into my 20's.

So for now, I'll just put my head down and try and grin and bare it.
