And guess what: it wasn't hay fever after all, but a flu that's been making the rounds. Once I gave up on the antihistimanes, the cough had a final splutter and went its merry way.
It's the first of October here, which means this blog's been up a full month! Any remarks, suggestions, semiotic or deconstructive analyses and well wishes are most welcome as it makes it way forward. I'm open to requests. I expect it'll get over the "gosh, here I am in AusTRAlia!" shtick eventually.
