Blow by blow (x50)

I awoke to this bedside scene as my nose streamed through the night. I presume it's normal practice to throw used tissues in this manner. They always do it this way on soap operas.

When your head is so blocked up, the snot moves around of its own volition and sounds like a dolphin echolocating underwater. That's been a continual theme of the day.

Leigh advised me to apply vapour rub to the soles of my feet. Which I did, questioning whether this is accepted medical practice. It feels serene and menthol-like, but it won't last if last night's nasal eruption is anything to go by.
