The Scientfic Experiment
I sneezed repeatedly. I felt perfectly well. Clearly I had an allergy of some kind. I know that I have mild hay fever but this reaction did not happen every day. My guess was that it happened only when I had a particular brand of nutty muesli at breakfast. I therefore got out a bowl of this muesli and separated out all the nuts into a saucer. I ate the muesli. No reaction. I returned to eat the nuts, one type after another, so as to see precisely which was the culprit. The nuts had gone. I wondered where – until I observed a contented, and perhaps slightly larger, lady with whom I share my life. So much for science.
