I didn't see it coming

As the afternoon sun brought with it the sticky feeling beneath my shirt, there was a cement bowl docrated perched on a pole about waist high filled with water lillies floating. A single pink flower stood in the middle. Beautiful

I have discovered that I am allergic to Jackfruit - I was happy to have tried one filled with sticky rice before i know though! It was delicious! Sweet and chewy! But I could feel my throat get inflamed and my mouth got very itchy. Went away pretty quickly though
