Tales of Home [4]

Yeah-like Methadone   

  what you really need is Vicks Cold Defence. you spray it up your shnozz the first signs of a cold and it nukes the bastard. it tastes like shit and burns but its good stuff in an Emergency. its also good if you have to use public transport where they are all hacking up into your face. just spray it up your nose and you are protected. best not using public transport really.

fake edit. Boots does a version too and that one tastes quite nice, I say tastes because sometimes it trickles down your throat. But it still works, I use it on airplanes cos they are like Flying germ tubes or rats.

Thanks for the advice Figg.   It'll just have to take the time it takes, I guess. It's just... I thought I was getting better.

Now if I could only stop coughing I would stop complaining. Promise.

if you have a cough after another week you will probably need antibiotics to get rid of it. in the meantime try a spoonfull of New Zealand Manuka honey its full of natural antibiotics. its nice stuff on a sore throat.

What you need is a 3 week old onion squeezed thru a sweaty sock ! Drink it as a Tea, If you survive then its killed the germs, if you dont ...........well........

wow   no wonder we women were dunked in duck ponds 300 years ago with all our strange remedeez.  

I heard putting a freshly cut onion by your bedside got rid of colds.   

Haha, well, thanks guys.   

I didn't mean to make a big deal of it. I don't often get sick and when I do it tends to pass without problems. So fingers crossed.

Something about the rancid aroma just adds to the piquance I feel   
(p.s. the older the sock the better   )

Some pics I took yesterday.

Not much signs of Spring in the trees yet-



But under them, plenty of signs-

it's kinda crazy that the busses have been here almost two years and they still haven't learned... look at that guy who fell behind the buss!!! lucky dude!
(and no the buss is not backing up, he's sliding back with no control)

Here's one for Norc to brush up on her Fjordian stereotype skillz:

Dagens sunnmøring

Ein sunnmøring kjem inn på eit bankkontor i Oslo og ber om å få eit lån. Han seier at han skal sydover i Europa på forretningsreise i to veker, og er nødt til å låne 5000 kroner. Bankmannen seier at han treng ei form for tryggleik for lånet. Sunnmøringen gir han då nøklane og vognkortet til ein splitter ny Mercedes som står parkert på gata utanfor banken. Dette fungerer fint og banken aksepterer bilen som tryggleik for lånet. Bankmannen og de andre i banken får seg alle ein god latter på sunnmøringens bekostning, som bruker ein Benz til 1.8 millionar som sikkerheit for eit lån på 5000 kroner. Han køyrer så bilen ned i bankens garasje og parkerer han der. To veker seinare kjem sunnmøringen igjen og betaler tilbake dei 5000 pluss rente 31 kroner. Bankmannen seier til sunnmøringen: «Vi er meget glade for at De ville låne hos oss, men vi er alle en smule forvirret... Mens De var borte sjekket vi Dem og oppdager at De er multimillionær. Det som forvirrer oss er, at De behøvde å låne 5000 kroner?» Sunnmøringen svara: «Kvar elles i Oslo kan eg parkere bilen min i to veker for 31 kroner?!»

 

good one, get it

Sunnmøringer.   

And I mean no offence by that, of course.

still Spring here,

What do you mean 'still' spring? It just started!

For you maybe   but for me, weve had Spring for a little while. Its getting ruddy cold tho, been warned we might have snow, Brrrr  

Lucky.

beautiful trees Azriel.  

we had 25 degrees last week but next week its forcast 10 degrees colder and rain    we had a doozer of a mountain storm tonight and it flattened all my iris flowers   

Thats a shame Figgy ! I like Iris's   Thats the problem at the moment, warm & sunny then a freezing cold snap, I like looking at snow & kicking around in it, just a shame its such cold stuff  

Nice pictures Az. I think our cherry trees are probably about 2 weeks behind yours, but I'm not in a hurry.

Thankyou ! They've been in bloom for a good couple of weeks, a lot of the streets near me are lined with a good variety of blossom trees, cherry, crab apple etc, makes the place easier to live in   Does look inviting when you see a whole vista of pink or white laid out before you.

Lovely Azriel.
Only problem with cherry blossom though is one big sneeze and its gone   

officially norced the english class, we're watching the fifth estate

 Nice one!
