As I write, I'm just waiting for my first package from Catherine, and
I think my conscience will let me pitch the old stuff! After all, I
also have some PPD-laced dyes sitting round here, and can cheerfully
ignore them now I know what they may have been doing to me. I can
economise in other areas! And I hope your music festival is
thoroughly joyful for you!
