I hope you’re all behaving yourselves while I’m catching up on my summer reading. I’m just breaking my cyber-silence for a few moments to let you know that an article I wrote about a recent Roja Dove lecture in London has been published on Basenotes; please click here to be taken to it.
And whilst I’m posting links, I thought some of you might be interested in this piece from the UK’s Daily Mail which claims that some perfumed candles could be as toxic as cigarettes. Have a read and – once you’ve recovered from the sexist headline – let me know what you think.
Persolaise.

Tania, you are HEALTHY!! Keep it up!!

Linda, I'm sure all the readers of this blog are paragons of good health
