I am developing a fondness for Heals. Because not only did they have single candles in violet and rose (OK, a bit paler than I'd like, more lilac and pale pink, but having trailed round every shop in the entire world looking for candles in the right size and colour I was thoroughly fed up), but their staff treat someone buying £4 worth of candles exactly the same as someone buying £400 worth of stuff. Namely, very politely. And he didn't even snigger a tiny bit when I dropped all my candles on the floor with an almighty clatter, but checked them carefully to see if I'd cracked them, and then wrapped them up in tissue paper very thoroughly indeed.

This evening will mainly be spent wrestling with my new toy, a wireless router kit also purchased today (but not from Heals), so that my computer and my housemate's computer can talk to the internet at the same time.

If you never see me on Yahoo Messenger ever again, it didn't work.
