Well, we finally visited our local Asian market, and realized that we’d left the camera in the car! So, we were forced to buy a few oddities, because they were so … odd. Next time, though, we’ll bring the camera, because there were so many things to enjoy! Not that we enjoyed the Asian-language Christmas music (with Disney-girl and Asian-rapper-guy interspersed): we felt as if we were doing worse penance than wearing a hair-shirt, or self-flagellating, it was so horrifying.
We’re gradually unpacking, and not enjoying the immigration of pollen which was apparently trapped when we packed: we’re sneezing like crazy! We’d like to blame this on the fact that everything was stored in Florida for many months, but we recognize that we’re most allergic to Heather / Gorse, and this seems much like that. We’re sure that packing one’s house up in Spring isn’t helpful to anyone – so, next time you feel like making a major move, don’t pack things up when the pollen is heavy.
