I am feeling better today after yesterday's headache, yesterday's day off running, and no pain killers as I avoid the latter if at all possible. I had put the headache down to a longish run in Saturday's heat, but thinking about it, I did drink regularly and I hardly ever have such problems; I think it was an allergic reaction the the white fluffy things floating around in the air.

Cottonwood blossoms in the air at the ANU last year.

Checking back in this blog, sure enough, 13 months ago I had the same problem. The blossoms were worse last year, in the ANU and along the cycle path between Commonwealth Avenue Bridge and Black Mountain Peninsula



It's Monday and I really must do some washing and cleaning around the house ... even though computer is working quite well today. It's the penalty of having the house to myself for a few days...
