Gee, that went quickly. :shrug:

Try eBay for your virgin coconut oil Metu. 🙂

The temperature on the East Coast of Tassie is very similar to Melbourne. I certainly don’t freeze when I go there. People are mainly very friendly and you can get good take-away food in lots of places. I need a Tassie holiday now. 😛

Porgey, your possum looks like a Ring-tailed Possum. They are dear, shy, little things and live in Dreys (nests) in the trees. I have two Dreys here. The possums make a twittering noise at night to communicate with other possums. They don’t get on with brush-tailed possums.

I have plenty of different vegetables planted and the possums leave them…[Read more]

They look luscious Metu. 🙂

:woohoo: Good luck with it Andre. 🙂

Who remembers Bata shoes on the Mornington Peninsula? They are still there in Mornington with a Factory Direct outlet but I’m not sure if they make everything there. Some of these gum boots are made there though. 🙂

Edited to add: I think most of the shoes are now imported.

Lightly soiled clothing comes out quite clean when just washed in water. I wouldn’t use any soap on him at all. He can be cleaned with virgin olive oil and wiped with a damp cloth. 🙂

Pregnancy toxaemia perhaps.

Raw milk sellers beware. The govt. are right onto this at the moment. There was a story on the telly about this a couple of nights ago. I didn’t see the whole program but gleaned that a
re-seller of Cleopatra’s Bath Milk was fined around $180,000 in court. Just found an article on the subject. No time to look for more.…[Read more]

I’m really sorry for your loss. 🙁

I like it. :tup:

I think the only way to remove it now (the stain has set) is to bleach it. You could try lemon juice first but you may end up needing to use hydrogen peroxide or diluted bleach. It should come out fine. 🙂 Dampen the stain with lemon juice and sprinkle salt over it and expose to the sun.

Put a few drops of water soluble tea-tree oil (15% strength) in a little bit of warm water and gargle to kill bacteria in the throat. Make a syrup of organic honey and brandy (say 1/8 cup of brandy with a tablespoon of honey) and take teaspoons of syrup at night before sleep. 🙂 Take vitamin c supplements.

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons boric acid (boric acid is available at the chemist or you can substitute with Borax)
3 cups warm water
