I got an earful
An earful of oil, that is. Garlic-infused oil. I am typing this whilst lying sideways on my bed, because I have garlic-infused oil in my ear. On Thursday night I had some stabbing pains in my ear before I fell asleep, and they continued all day yesterday. I ended up taking some painkillers last night (which will give anyone who knows me an idea how painful it was - I almost never do that), and this morning June suggested the garlic-oil thing. It feels very weird going in, but the pain does seem to have eased a bit. And the good ear is against a pillow, so I can’t hear a thing. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing 
I will give it a bit longer to do its job, then I’ll get up and see if it runs out again or what happens.
Barney and Freddy had swimming lessons this morning, and Barney went to Fit Kids afterwards, then went swimming again. A couple of weeks ago an unfamiliar child showed up at our door, asking if he could retrieve his ball; he’d been visiting the house at the back of ours. He came through to get the ball, and recognised Barney from Fit Kids, so they introduced themselves to one another properly. This morning he and Barney and another boy hung out together in the fitness suite and in the pool; it sounds like Barney had a good time. Scratchy had arranged to collect him at 11.30, but by the time Barney got out of the pool and got dressed and home, it was nearly 1 p.m. - and the leisure centre is only five minutes away! 
We’ve not had any calls from Cub Camp, so I assume George is doing okay. I do miss him - even though he has swimming and trampoline on Saturday mornings, so I’d only have seen him before bed last night and for an hour or so today anyway! How on earth am I going to cope when they all grow up and leave home?
Going to spend this afternoon trying to write a webpage I promised someone, and playing with Linux.
