Whichever type of pollen my hay fever reacts to is currently in the air here in Astana. Although the severity has dropped off over the years, I still have issues with my eyes during summer months, both in Britain and Kazakhstan. The other day I was at Ira’s parents, and some sort of dust from the decorating being done was driving my nose mad, causing me to sneeze constantly. So I popped outside, sat down on some of their outdoor furniture, and within a couple of minutes my eyes were watering. I guess it is time to start taking the anti-histamines again.
