Swimming

Went swimming in Stockport Grand Central Leisure pool with my lovely boy, followed by Transformers at the cinema. Just great.
But although the pool was not very chlorinated - my eyes are fine - and although I used a decongestant nasal spray before we went, I have ended up with terrible nasal congestion. Breathing through my nose is totally impossible, and I have sinus pressure building up. This started happening to me about 4 years ago, not every time I swim in a chlorinated pool but often enough to put me off swimming (which is Very Bad). Swimming in the sea, in lakes, or in rivers is no problem at all; it's something to do with the chlorine. I'll take some oral decongestants, and I'll somehow get to sleep, but I'll feel really quite crappy for a couple of days. Any suggestions?
I once went to my GP about this, who suggested a nasal spray which doesn't seem to have any more effect than the over-the-counter remedy I was already using.

Absolute

Just heard from my lawyer. I am now divorced.
We didn't quite make it to our 13th anniversary, next Monday.
To the many friends and family members who witnessed our wedding, and our marriage, my sincere thanks and my humble apologies for letting you all down.
It was an amazing, glorious, sacred, precious, crazy, remarkable, implausible, delightful thing, the best, full of hope and love and joy and laughter and beauty and ecstasy and devotion and commitment. But somehow we bust it and now it is gone. I would have done anything, gone anywhere, been anyone, to preserve it. I do not suppose I shall experience anything close to it again.

Draft consent order

Other news, trivial in comparison: ball in their court again, they will draft a consent order for the money, it'll take a few weeks for it to go through the system. I'll finally be free when that is done, or on September 8th, whichever is the later.
