Ear candling and crazy Monday mornings

In case I haven't mentioned this before every Monday morning on my day off the girls and I get together for coffee and a catch up at the house of one of our friends (Caz). Some of the topics we talk about can range from completely normal to totally off the wall but it's fun and a great way to connect.

This morning one of the girls, Bee came in with an ear candle she had bought locally and complaining of a blocked ear.

If you've never heard of ear candling never fear as I will explain...apparently the ear candles are made of beeswax and filled with various herbs. Sarah gently inserted the candle into the outer ear the top was lit and as it melts down the odour and warmth from inside is suppose to suck out the wax and any other offending things stuck down there.

Now I've never really believe in stuff like this but as the treatment went on the more unblocked Bee's ear became. At the end she could hear normally again. I'll have to remember this treatment!

I've seen it advertised at my nail salon, of all places! I don't think I'd try it there, lol!

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money). My research found that: "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years. This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally? I actually th...

Hail

Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck. Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
