(Just thought I'd put my Masters to a bit of use here.)<br /><br />And yes, I'd say the same goes in the USA where the smell of Christmas spices is concerned.

I haven't been to the markets to do any Christmas shopping yet, but I imagine that my glitter-tolerance has probably increased in the past year as well.

But if you put it in cold water, and turn up the temperature slowly, it doesn't notice, and stays in.<br /><br />Not that I've tried it.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
