Bliss! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only slightly bum note was my hayfever, which was horribly intense. I took a piriton tablet. But to no discernible effect. And the constant sneezing quite wore me out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, all told? O\u2019 Frabjous Day! Simple pleasures are often the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
