Sorry if I've gone on, I'm waiting for bread to prove, I'd better go and
see to it.

Well, thank you for the description of how you went about it. No, I don't
have the book, but that's okay... I have more than enough patterns and books
as it is now, so I doubt that I'll buy more. LOL Yeah, right... I will
*try* not to buy more... let's put it that way. ;o)

It's funny that you should mention your homemade bread... I was in a grocery
store yesterday and walked by the bakery department and could smell freshly
baked bread. mmmMMMmmm I resisted buying it though... I was good. ;o)

That is a wonderful hat , and I just have to say that with the hat on
your husband would make a wonderful portrayal of Dumbledore from Harry
Potter.

LOL! He's usually taken for Father Christmas! Is Dumbledore like him then? I
don't know, haven't read the books and we have no television.

They pump it round the store deliberately, here, especially near the
entrance.

I don't like the smell of bread baking for some reason but everyone else
seems to. To me it's acrid and pungent - must be the alcohol. Yet I like
alcohol in some forms ... :-)

I always heard the question if the spouse wears the pants ,,,, Men
wearing hats are rather common in the middle east ,,,:::

I'm sure Mary means they pump the delicious smells around, Mirjam. I know
that stores (grocery and otherwise) do put certain things near the main
entrance to attract the customers as they come in... likely only to buy one
or two items. I know the grocery store here in town has the deli section
very close to the entrance (just to the side of the large produce
department) where they are roasting chickens. The smell is SOOO nice that
if you are hungry when you go in for just a loaf of bread (at the back of
the store past the produce) or milk (in the opposite corner of the store)
the delicious smell of roast chicken tempts you a lot to want to buy one for
supper. I've gotten used to their tactics now, so I bring *just* enough
money to buy what I went for, so that I'm not tempted to over-spend.

Oh and by the way... they also put juicy delicious looking strawberries
*just* inside the front door where you have to pass them on your way to buy
anything else... now THOSE definitely tempt me almost everytime. ;o)

My husband wears a hat always outside - either to keep him warm when it's
cold or to keep his (bald) head from burning if it's hot. Or just to keep
him clean if he's working. He doesn't, however, wear a nightcap (except when
we've been camping in temperatures well below freezing).

He has dozens of hats and isn't comfortable if he's separated from them fby
more than a yard, they're all over the house!

I don't understand about the spouse wearing the pants.

Spit chickens and strawberries don't tempt me - but that's another story :-)
But you're right. Just like they put child-attractive things at
child-in-the-trolley height. Then they say there's no such thing as pester
power.

Hmm.
