(I'm always terrified of electrical work going bad under the roof.) <br /><br />I had one day when I didn't smell it, but last night it was stronger than ever, and it really hasn't been wood-burning-stove temperatures yet. Strange, isn't it? <br /><br />I'm pretty sure it's psychosomatic, but just in case something is burning, I want to smell it, so I've held off aromatic oils so far...<br /><br />So, imagine me checking under the roof a few times a day - our manhole is at the top of the linen closet and I haven't emptied it yet, so it's a bit tricky and, well, if you weren't me, it's hilarious.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-35915782600938780772011-03-02T03:43:36.740+13:002011-03-02T03:43:36.740+13:00Meg, very thoughtful and honest story from your he...Meg, very thoughtful and honest story from your heart about the financial needs in your life. I hope your cashmere scarves fly off the shelves and that your dad proves to be just a sentimental man who wants to see his daughter and not a bearer of bad news.<br /><br />As to the smoke. I recall you had a new wood stove installed a year or more ago. Could there be a draft causing the smell to enter through the flue? If it is psychosymatic and you simply want to eradicate the aroma, you might try a potpourri of lavender and rosemary and cedar. Or to clear the sinus cavity, perhaps a netti pot or a good steam with some eucalyptus oil.<br /><br />I will be thinking good thoughts for you!Dana and Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14006886855600007312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-82088080819676816052011-02-27T07:31:47.852+13:002011-02-27T07:31:47.852+13:00Did you, Cally?

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the earthquake coverage, but I keep looking and I'm driving Ben nuts asking if he still doesn't smell anything.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-36975239391793103202011-02-27T06:42:43.734+13:002011-02-27T06:42:43.734+13:00Last spring I thought I smelled gas coming from a ...Last spring I thought I smelled gas coming from a broken main or something and was wandering up and down the street looking for the source - turned out to be sulphur from the eruption of Eyafjallajokull. Maybe you can smell Christchurch?<br /><br />I think teal and orange would be fabulous, by the way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-69722408129308626162011-02-26T17:41:30.743+13:002011-02-26T17:41:30.743+13:00I thought I was going for Dad but he sent he his f...I thought I was going for Dad but he sent he his first "instructional" email and I just about blew up again. I can look forward to many more to come since we've planned this trip far longer in advance than any of our trips in the last... perhaps ever. But it'll be nice to see everybody, since they'll have more free time. <br /><br />Honestly, I'm not too sure about teal/orange. Hasn't quite caught my fancy yet, but any combination is worth a try.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-32726798184606514002011-02-26T15:54:45.773+13:002011-02-26T15:54:45.773+13:00You have been working hard, the stack looks fabulo...You have been working hard, the stack looks fabulous and 18 cashmeres. <br />I'm sure you've done the right thing in booking a trip home. I don't regret spending the time I did with my mother even though it was trying at times. <br />Looking forward to seeing the teal-orange combination.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401039267862076516noreply@blogger.com
