Hay up

 It's that time of year for hay fever sufferer's.

Whilst I now get problems earlier in the year - I have read that birch trees can cause these issues at that time of the year, it was around this time that I used to get real problems.

Particularly when sitting my exams. I can remember during one exam that my eyes were watering so much that I stopped writing for a while and had to sit with my head back before I could go on. Dreadful.

Painting

 Am I alone in enjoying painting room? I like painting the walls best but also ceilings. It is always satisfying because I can paint a large area quite quickly and it makes so much difference to a room.

My tools of choice are good quality brushes and I now use mini rollers rather than the standard larger rollers. I find that they make far less mess but still cover the areas quickly.

The modern water based gloss paints are so much easier too. And they don't seem to yellow like the old oil based paints always did - regardless of make and quality.
