The advice to help protect us against swine flu and against all infections actually, is to cough/sneeze into a paper tissue and chuck it in the bin. Then wash your hands as soon as you possibly can.

As you know by now we have 3 rescued ex battery hens living in our back garden. They’ve been lovely to have and we’ve had regular eggs from them.
Now one is not laying at all – but I’m not bothered about her and I’m happy to carry one as a non laying passenger, after all this isn’t a commercial egg production arrangement. One lays an egg pretty much every day, she has the odd day off but again, that’s fine.

EcoKnits is run by a friend of mine and we’ve been talking soap nuts for wool washing.
Proper wool is tricky to wash safely without felting, shrinking or matting it nastily and ruining that perfect, soft and squishy scarf/hat/whatever you made for your best friend for Christmas.

I reuse carrier bags as kitchen bin liners because I do fling some yucky stuff in there and to be honest it does make life easier. But the more I reduce my rubbish the less bin liners I need, and the more I’m thinking about what is going in my bin.
