Mr C and I have had colds/chest infections and the like for the last couple of weeks. We have of course struggled manfully on and not once have we mentioned it on Facebook.

A week or so ago I developed earache having tried heat pads to no avail I decided that bicarbonate of soda mixed with turmeric and warm water injected into my ear would do the trick.

If ever, dear reader, the same thought happens to pop into your head, please I beseech you to do all you can to banish the thought without acting upon it.
Take it from one who knows it does not work.
