Come to the country they say.
It is healthy, they say.
Healthy my eye. I’ve just arrived back from a visit to the country covered in bites from angry swarming flying insects. And I found it hard to sleep because the silence was too noisy.
The insect bites are particularly galling as I was covered in copious amounts of noxious potion to prevent them.
Have treated bites with antihistamine cream which seemed to make no difference. I then moved on to a pantomime conversation in the Pharmacy which began thus:
Me: I’d like an antihistamine tablet that doesn’t make me drowsy.
Madam Pharmacist: Well, I’d recommend that you take this one, though it will make you drowsy.
Eventually persuaded her to sell me a non-drowse making box of tablets.
Did they make a difference? No, they did not.
I wash off the remains of earlier cream treatment and apply Hc45 cream which also claims to calm insect bites.
It calms not mine. Grrr.
