I don't much care about spandex (won't wear it) and I don't know about
ligustrum, but the scented nonsense that's supposed to be de rigeur in all
out homes/laundry clogs me up pretty well on the first sniff. And I just
found out a good belt of hairspray (not mine) will do it too. I hope my
clogged sinuses won't last as long as George's.
Much sympathy, George, from a fellow sufferer. Liz when are you planning
to be dictator? Can't be too soon to get rid of the scented stuff as far
as I am concerned.
The garden is green and beautiful with light spring showers this weekend
and the air smells so very clean.
