Azalea.

I did not go out today. Compared to my liquid intake, the ability of the body to generate so much fluid to come out in sneezes and a runny nose is remarkable.

I had quite a good night’s sleep but as soon as I got up the streaming - and later coughing - started.

I abandoned attending a funeral and switched a meeting to zoom and tried to rest. I’ve only done half my usual steps.

At the front door is this azalea with a wonderful perfume. The cold has blunted my ability to smell it but the scent still comes through. At least it was milder for a while. I suspect another day confined tomorrow to shake this off.
