New paintings and regular art updates.
Another friend and her son have tested positive for Covid19. I haven’t seen them for months but I’m very worried. Both are asymptomatic at the moment, I hope that continues. I just wish people would be careful…. Just a sneeze or a cough can spread droplets that land on door handles or chairs or plastic packaging. I had to fend someone off yesterday because she tried to hug me! I felt so close to going in for a hug, but I made an excuse about my sore shoulder. Everyone needs to be so careful.

Every so often my hubby starts sneezing. It’s usually out of the blue. He will sneeze for ten or twenty minutes, then stop. It must be an allergy but we don’t know what sets it off.
The reaction is so strange, we can’t work out what is setting it off. Eventually it will abate, but it’s upsetting when it happens.
The number of people who have allergies is increasing. It appears to be because we might live in homes that are too clean or that we now eat more unusual foods or drinks that may cause problems. I don’t know… At least he’s stopped sneezing!
He sneezes
I flinch
It’s an allergy
But I don’t feel safe
Wrap up safe I say
So he takes his scarf
Wraps it round
Wound about
Like a mummy
In blue and orange
Get an antihistamine
I say
Cringing
As the sneezing
continues
Atishoo
We all fall down?
My nose itches
Atishoo!
Green goo
I hate colds
Feeling old
When I sneeze
It shakes my knees
Makes me quake.
Shakes me awake…
Sneeze and snot
I feel hot…
Achy and tired.
Not what’s desired.
I need to sleep.
Not a peep…
No sneezes,
Please
Argh! Pollen count is really high today, I’ve taken a Hay-fever tablet and my nose is mildly itchy, but my eyes! I’m rubbing them so hard that it hurts. I need to get some eyedrops but it’s too high a pollen level to want to go out. So I’m waiting till later till the tablet takes effect.
I started getting Hay-fever at a young age when I would wake up with what I called “sleep” in my eyes, all gunged up. Then when I was a teenager about to do my exams it got worse. The sneezing and coughing. Walking about unable to see because of my blurry eyes.
I think I’m growing out of it a bit, but it might just be because we don’t have any grass nearby. My garden is full of trees and flowers which I’m OK with. It’s grass, and particularly Timothy grass that effects me. Timothy grass is used by local councils for grass verges so it can be ubiquitous.
Anyway my tablet is kicking in. So I’m off out. Bye
Atishoo .. Funny word
Onomatopoeiaic
Tissue … Chosen for its sound too?
Loud noise, close your eyes.
Watch your nose explode
Don’t worry you will be ok
It’s only a cold,
Not a small ghost!
