Good to know about the cotton woolSnap! I have used olive oil regularly...
Using a dropper or dripping it from a teaspoon so it goes down the ear is best. Then use cotton wool to wipe up the mess. Don’t put cotton wool in your ear - it sheds and may make matters worse
Linda: Can your son do some of the driving?
There are some very nice shops you could walk around to help your back and coffee shops for when you need to rest itGood morning all. The storm passed through early this morning and is now off the East coast.
It’s still rather damp here, but not raining hard.
I need to run son to the station this morning; he is heading back to Bristol to pack his stuff up and clean his student flat. Tomorrow, I’m driving to Bristol to collect him and his gear... I have made it clear that my back won’t allow me to carry anything, or to spend time bent over cleaning. When I get there I’ll need to walk round to relieve sitting in a driving position for a long time so I’m in a fit state to drive back.
I do better as a car passenger on long journeys as I can fidget and keep changing my position. That’s hard to do when you’re behind the wheel
I need to work now, then will try to drag daughter geocaching in the afternoon. [emoji23]
Here’s her red carpet moment:

She got a diploma as the “Best Comedy Actress”. (All kids got “Best” something or other, including “Most Charming”, “Most Photogenic”, “Most Talented”.)

It was a sweet event. The Russian moms were much less so — telling husband and I that we were “embarrassing” ourselves because we were holding a bag of popcorn in a photo or that daughter would suffer “childhood trauma” if we don’t run out and buy her flowers...
Blimey they do take it seriously don't they?
Ooooh - is it the French Open?
I've not heard of that but well done to hubby
You too, Lena.
Yay. But bet she is disappointed. [emoji1]
I really really hope she is able to help him this time. Why does she want to see him first though? Surely that just adds more delays? Or did she get some new info that she wants to check first?Good afternoon/morning everyone.
Hope you are having a good Tuesday.
I have spent my day trying to re arrange Lola's outside enclosure to see if I can tempt him out more often.
He did come and sit outside and watch me for a while, then basked a bit more by the side of me when I sat on the ground, but he didn't offer to
help.
His appetite is still atrocious; he has eaten quite a few dandies and was happy to eat when I hand fed him some mixed leaves but if left to his own devices he will ignore his food and walk straight past it.
I rang the vet I saw to ask if she could arrange a scan, but she wants to see him again first.
So have another appt at end of week.
I hope I'm not making him lazy by hand feeding, but it's the only way I can make sure he eats something.
He is a looking well though.
[emoji33] [emoji33]Everything is a matter of life and death...
He has so much stuff that I need to take our Volvo V70. With a 3.5 litre engine it would bankrupt us to insure him to drive it as he is only 22
I know Bristol reasonably well now... there's plenty of places to stretch my legsThere are some very nice shops you could walk around to help your back and coffee shops for when you need to rest it
Rain has just arrived here but I don't think it's going to amount to much.
