In the coming Spring and nearing to my birthday in mid-May, Zannnie would have been here for three years. It's how surprising she is able to adapt quite quickly to our four seasons here in Hungary. In cold winter like these days, we cover ourselves with more layers of clothings and at home, we normally switch on the central heater almost all the time. Most of the houses here are not equipped with underfloor heating which can be very essential when it is in the subzero temperatures for almost two thirds of the winter season.
Zannnie has serious allergy to the dust and the high humidity in the air. Initially it was also an important criteria before we have our dog, Momo. She chose the dog with care, because the fur of some dogs or even the 100% humidity level in Singapore is a problem for her. You can imagine how many times she needs to blow her nose in a day as on an average, she needs about 5 packets of tissue paper at least. Since Momo is a Havanese dog, his coat is hair and not fur. Hence, she is totally glad to be living here in Budapest.
The allergy season here in Hungary is mainly the pollen during the Spring. It does affect a lot of my working colleagues and students who attend the University. Some of them will have sore throats, sore eyes and runny noses. It can be a painful season for those with such allergies. It is inevitable if one has to commute to work or to the University/school by public transportation. The air will be full of pollens after the first bloom of the flowers in the spring season. I love spring, it is one of my favourite season because this is the best period of time when I can enjoy a good nap in the garden on our swing. It is usually cooling with fresh breeze that lightly touches your skin.
