Ask the Spike

Sinusitis, school holidays, sun…

…these things have conspired to bring you no Spike for the last few days. Plus rowdy young people who live on my street in their gardens talking loudly until the small hours have left me grumpy and cross in the mornings.

Plus it is too hot to think (which makes a mockery of my most recent Rain-themed post).

But: more soon! Don’t touch that dial.

    Oh GOD I feel your pain. I have been hobbled by sinusitis which wasn’t here one minute then was here the next, pouring tons of chemical tasting shit down my throat, drop kicking me in the head every time I look down, making my face swell up until I looked like Kate Hudson coming out of the fillers clinic (Have you SEEN what she’s done to her lovely face?)…

    And I have eleven deadlines, all of them long form and I can’t think at all, let alone about cockles, seed saving, how to get through the summer holidays, write recipes for weird Bavarian tarts, finish an 800w opinion column on something or other, and the rest….. Help.

    I had sinusitis over Christmas, pure hell I thought it was never going to end, must be especially horrible in this heat. Sympathy (that was probably obvious but thought I’d flag it up). BUT I do need you (Lord Kitchener finger) to tell me where to go, what to wear when I’m there and how to entertain my children over the summer so please don’t take it too easy or you’ll be missed xxx (p.s thanks for Paul Newman, you can keep Robert Redford)

      Ha ha! Don’t worry Cindy I’m not gone forever. It’s all just a bit chaotic at the moment and alas I have no deputy.

    I went to the GP for my sinusitis recently and she gave me the holy trinity of steroid spray, antihistamines and antibiotics – really worth asking for these as it has knocked it on the head and I’d been in a dreadful state for months with it

    Why does the hot weather make people go all cray cray? Dogs barking, LOUD talking. Too hot with windows closed, too noisy with them open. I’m officially done with summer. And people.

    Sorry to jump on this Laura but would love to know the names of the holy trinity as have been struggling for years and my husband basically wants to kill me every time I snuffle. Will be eternally grateful
