Why August? I put that the first of the winter months, cause of the lead in to the finals. Kinda get a nice build up/sense of anticipation in August

Just a bit cold and shitty. No pub holidays

I find it quite funny tho, I have 2 spring months in my top 6. I ******* hate Spring due to my hayfever.

Ahh fairy nuts. Hayfever. I like spring in Melbourne. Is nice

There's these amazing gorgeous green- like fluro green- trees in the city.

We went on a excursion to Old Melb gaol and there are some outside. I legit had to have my "morning tea" in the gift shop- because i felt like I was dying. Some kids had to join me too, cause they were effected as well.

Yeah it can be quite different depending on the trees/grasses, climate, rain/no rain (rain helps- but just delays the inevitable i think, making it worse in the long run)..

I went to Michigan in June- didnt even think about hayfever, i mean its summer ffs.

It was like a punch in the ****ing face. One of the worst bouts of hayfever i have ever had. They took me to the docs fairly quickly and was on a great medication that took all the symptoms away.

Shit. Colder climate areas must be worse?

 

[Shell]

Dude, its America. Its summer

 

[Shell]

I just assumed it being summer and not spring, I'd be fine.

I was not.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Yeah. But its a cold place overall. Its got the trees with all the pollen and that.

[Shell]

[Spazz Cat]

Like I dont think it would be bad in Arizona etc. Cactus's don't give off much stuff

 

[Spazz Cat]

Cacti sorry

 

[Spazz Cat]

*in summer.

No shit. I didn't think that place would get that hot in summer. I knew it wouldn't be snowing etc but didn't think it would be hot

In Florida in 2003, I didnt get hayfever, but it legit took me 3 weeks to get used to the humidity.

That, was like a punch in the face also.

 

[Shell]

Oh yeah. Definitely- like 30s+

It DID cool down at night tho, that was heaven. So first thing in the morning was chilly. But by 10/11 it was hot again

Humid and crocodiles.

Yeah in the swampy parts. I was along the coast, Boca Raton. Very rich area.

But I hadnt even been to Qld before then, so i had nfi what it would be like. IIRC I didnt eat for almost a week, not a full meal anyway. My body was just like "bleh" and all i could do was drink water.

I also lost my voice quite a bit, due to the constant air con, in every building.
