#UrbanNature Observations:

#Privet and #bees by the wayside in #June.
The air of the surrounding area was redolent of these tiny flowers.

Spiky frost. #SpikyFrost #Frost #Privet

Day six of allergy eyes.

I have now got fabulous healing “allergy shiners” - great big bruised looking patches around my eyes, from all the swelling. And they are still itchy and the skin is all flaky. Oh,, so attractive.

And did I have any moisturiser in the house I could use on my sore eyelids? Of course not. The very last of my good lanolin ointment ran out yesterday.

So this morning I had to buy eczema and psoriasis cream, (it stinks, but it seems to help), and sensitive skin moisturiser, and a new face cleanser, because even the “gentle” one I had felt like dishwashing detergent on my poor, raw skin.

Since Wonderdog is also suffering from the blasted #privet, we asked the vet today about options for helping her, as well. Turns out the cheapest and most effective treatment is to keep giving her fexofenadine (telfast) 120mg, but try her on a morning dose as well as the evening tablet. She’s a big doggo, (chunky, even, sadly), so she can handle that much. The other choice is still under patent and very much more expensive, and it’s better for skin sensitivities caused by grasses, anyway.

I will be very, very glad when the privet stops flowering!

Bloody #privet. My eyes are still itchy, my eyelids are still swollen and so sore that just touching them with a tissue to blot eyedrops is painful, and they look bruised.

The strongest over-the-counter allergy eyedrops are doing nothing to help. I had a script for stronger allergy eyedrops - but I waiting for a new bottle to arrive.

Meanwhile I might need to tie my hands behind my back or something to stop myself from rubbing my eyes.

I am #grumpy today because the local council sent us letters years ago saying we had to remove all #privet on our land or be fined.

But the council left all the rotten privet, now blooming profusely, along the creek corridors and council owned green corridors (once earmarked for projects which didn’t happen, probably for funding or flooding reasons.)

The pollen doesn’t recognise private or council land, oddly enough!

And I can’t afford some fancy air filter system for my little old, weatherboard cottage. So I am grumpy.

#LocalCouncil

Woke up today with my #eyes nearly swollen shut from #allergies.
(Hoping allergies. #OccamsRazor says most likely allergies, given recent #rain, #mowing, bloody #privet, and not a sudden reaction to the eye drops I need at least 8 times a day because of #Sjogrens)
