Jul. 23rd, 2019 10:47 pmThe first summer we were all here - 2012, because during 2011's summer, only L was - I needed to use some hay fever medicine for almost-but-not-quite the first time ever.
The previous couple of times were city pollution related. I can remember a by-election in Liverpool one hot summer in particular, and I know it had happened once before / after that.
Since 2012, there's been the odd summer's day when I've needed it, but only on the level of once a summer.
This year, I definitely needed it after going to Alton Towers in the nice weather week at the end of May and have needed it on many days since then. I've actually finished two 14 day packets of the stuff!
Memo to self: Cetirizine works better for me than ‎Loratadine does. Annoyingly, Morrisons used to have the former in a blue packet, but now sell the latter in a slightly different blue packet. Aldi are cheaper, but didn't have any of the former yesterday evening.
