I was doing a spot of spring cleaning this morning and with difficulty dragged the heavy bed head away from the wall,  I was surprised by the amount of dust that had accumulated behind there since the last time I had pulled it out

I cleaned the skirting boards before taking a wet cloth to it then I got the hoover out only to find it was chocka block full and needed emptying (humph t'old man never empties it!).  Then as I was emptying it clouds of dust blew into my face and then suddenly  I felt a pain in my chest.
At first I thought I might have strained a muscle through moving the bed but realised that I felt congested too so I wondered if  it could be a reaction to dust mites.

When I worked in the bakery four years ago I was diagnosed by the Doctor as suffering from mild asthma..I poo poo this idea as my eldest daughter has suffered from asthma since childhood and it wasn't anything like  that and besides the inhalers they gave me didn't do any good..I did have a tight chest though.
At the time t'old man suggested to me that it could be a reaction to the airborne flour in the bakery but I carried on regardless.

A few months after I left the bakery my symptoms subsided ( I got an arthritic hip instead :roll:) so perhaps there was something in his theory after all.  Well the top and bottom of it is...that in a few weeks time I will be working in the bakery  again although for only six hours a week so hopefully I won't be affected

In the mean-time i've still got a tightness in my chest and I can't clear my throat.
The bedroom looks sparkling though
