That is the modern version of the old wives remedy that my mother used when I was a kid.....a teaspoon of warmed olive oil poured into the ear.  It worked a treat and was cheap and easy but you did have to keep you head on the side so it did not trickle out.

They were the days Lyndal - and what was it for a toothache "cloves"?

I dunno Stawks.   Maybe you had better ask the Mods why they did it.

 

It happened on Wednesday night....it appeared in my Notifications.  I am now an Honored Contributor and my ID is bolded.  I have no idea what I have done to be singled out (so far I am the only member singled out on the Au site that I can find).

 

I am not looking forward to the trolls returning to the boards and seeing it.....I fear the reactions will not be pleasant.

The teachers pet jibes Lyndal 

It's been a bit of an odd one, weather wise...

Will it rain? Will it not rain? Will it only rain if I take the cordless drill outside...? ha ha.

That wind... It's coming straight up over the snow...

Only one cockatoo followed me up to the shops, and he wanted a lift home in the car, ha ha,,,

I said yes, okay, but you're not allowed to raid the shopping bags and start eating the bread on the way home... ha ha.

Good evening all ... xxxxx

Just a very quick visit now because I'm supposedly somewhere else ...  , but if you don't tell, I won't either!

So sorry that you have not been well ecar .. earaches are horrible, especially in the winter .. hope all is well now.

Had a chuckle about your ID Lyndal, but I must say I always thought you were a bold and brave person ...   

I've had to be doing everything and anything for the past few days, but never on the nothing side of the equation.

We've had snow, lots of beautiful snow today;   sadly though, I couldn't get there .. maybe it will still be in the mountains on the weekend and we can go frolic and make snow angels dressed up in our winter in Alaska gear.

Roll on Christmas ... !

Goodnight folks, until next time .... 

It got down to minus six, overnight...

The "Feels like" temperature was minus nine, at midnight... ha ha.

The day turned into a beautiful, if cool, sunny day...

Everyone was so happy that it was no longer being rainy and windy and cold...

So they celebrated...

From shortly after dawn... ha ha

But it's not enough just to celebrate...

So, in the afternoon, the cockatoos brought some friends...

Four new old men, who enjoyed eating, squabbling with the other birds, and avoiding me me because I'm a stranger... ha ha.

One of the younger birds bit one of the older birds in a place that I won't mention... ha ha.

It squawked, and I told them off - "No! You don't bite people there... How would you like it if somebody bit you there?"...

I don't know which of them was more surprised that I "speak" bird... ha ha.

Speak bird? No, not really, it's just I know that particular squawk, ha ha.
