Its that time of year again

you know the weather cools down, quite a lot as it happens, leafs start to turn,days get shorter, everywhere gets quieter and as for John? Well he gets out the Hopi ear candles and gives us all some entertainment. This time Joaquin was around to see the whole process, mind you they are effective much more so than any thing the Doc tried. You can see from the photo Joaquin thought it was hilarious, and now he wants to try it himself. If he does I will be waiting to snap away for a few more pics to put in the family album. Makes you wonder what future generations will make of the whole thing. Bit more interesting than your average holiday photos I should think.

NB: Hopi candles came from the Health shop in Guardamar. No ears where hurt in the making of this posting

Hopi ear candling

No, Ive not gone mad


Every so often my ears get blocked with wax and my hearing goes so normally i go to the doctors to get them syringed, its a horrible feeling having it done and im sure it creates a situation where you have to keep having them done. But Bec told me about Hopi ear candles, they are around €7 for two from most alternative health shops, and they do a fantastic job, All you do is light the candle which is hollow and stick it in your ear and wait for it to burn down to the collar you are provided with. Dont be alarmed by the crackling and gurgling noises you hear, you know the candle is doing its job. When the candle has burnt down to the collar put it in a jug of water to extinguish it, if you really want to see what it has removed from your ear you can open the candle up - you´ll be surprised. I recommend them every time.
