Happily Ever After...

When i first saw the budding spring i was absolutely dazzled by the rolling yellow fields. It was like sunshine was scattered like glitter. I had never seen anything like it. What are these glorious flowers...they are called Rape Seed. Now, i know that the name sounds kind of grim (believe me i know about the strange names, just up the road is "Barff Meadow" yes, that's right, Barff Meadow, its a street...makes you want to live there doesn't it?) Anyway, Rape Seed, lovely yellow flower. Rape Seed is highly prized for its super healthy oil (as a food) environmentally friendly uses for making diesel.

So...what else does Rapeseed make? It makes snot, by the bucketload. I actually thought that i was SICK! I was sneezing violently, to the point of nosebleeds. Coughing, watery eyes, i often sneezed mucus on my own face and hands. Yes, I'm admitting it! First, i didn't know that i could produce this much slime, and second, the sneezes and spewing were completely sudden and beyond my control. I'm not even embarrassed about snotting on myself anymore, its THAT beyond my control.

So, i hear through the grapevine that the popular opinion is that i have "Hey Fever"! When i considered this, i thought "You've got to be kidding me! Hey Fever? This has to be way worse than just Hey Fever!" Well, it seems hey fever is what this is, to a degree i have never seen before. I never thought i would receive an ass kicking by a little yellow flower!
