For the last 48 hours I've had the worst hay fever I've ever experienced. It started after Richard started work in the garden. This may be coincidental but, strangely, the hay fever only seems to be a problem when I'm at home. When I've biked into town or to the supermarket, or yesterday when we were taking visiting friends for a tour of Whanganui, it abates dramatically.

I'm struggling to manage it at home, all the same. Any suggestions most welcome.
