In my house there are two rabbits. One of them is EXCEEDINGLY fluffy, short, fine, hairs that float around the house when he moults [in quite remarkable numbers].

They keep getting in my eye, and sometime stay in there for hours and hours, despite rubbing, blinking and perhaps even trying to wash them out with water.

I remember hearing a surfer saying how he got sand in his eyes all the time, and there was a trick to get it out. It worked a treat when I tried it, but that was 8 years ago and I can't remember how to do it.

Any suggestions? I think it was something about looking up and blinking?

Make sure you wear eye protection when skinning rabbits.

Anyway....

This is was supposed to be a serious question:

There is a trick to it, getting a foreign object out of your eye. The guy was referring-to was told it by his optician because it happened all the time.

Does anyone know what it might have been? It's probably of use of use as it worked in just a few seconds and would be great for people with something in their eye on the trail, too.

Hold your eyelids apart until it hurts. Then keep them open a bit longer.

Nature will force you to close it eventually (prob about 10 seconds in total?).

Your eyes will then secrete lots of hastily-produced lubrication as you close the lids, along with any foreign objects such as grit or Thumper.

Repeat as necessary.

I am not an opthalmologist.

Eskimos use their tongue to fish obstructions out of each other's eyes. Have a flick through the telephone directory (remember them?) and see if there are any typically Eskimo looking surnames near to you. Failing that train a dog to do it, don't whatever you do get a cat to lick your eyeball.

One thing that sometimes works for me is to rub the other eye. Both eyes still produce fluid to flush the object out, but it means that you're not pushing the object around against your eyeball.

Holding the eyes open worked well!

I didn't win the staring contest with the rabbit, however.

You can buy little packs of eyedrops, think they're designed for contact lenses but I've usually got a few around for getting crap out of my eyes. Not perfect but helpful

Only an Inuit would try that 😆

Coat the jointed rabbit pieces thoroughly in flour then shake off the excess. Season the meat. Keep the flour

Melt butter and oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot on a medium heat. Add the rabbit pieces (in batches if necessary; the meat should seal, not steam) and brown on all sides. Remove from the pot
Put the rabbit and other ingredients back into the pot, tip in the remaining flour and pour in half the liquid and deglaze the pan
Add the rest of the liquid and herbs. Ensuring that the rabbit is immersed, slowly bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook on the hob for 60-70 minutes, until the rabbit is tender. Thirty minutes into cooking uncover the pot – this will help to reduce the liquor.
Serve with boiled new potatoes and bread.
