Just back from walk to town, picked up a box of chocolates for T to give at upcoming work gift exchange. Had interesting conversation with her about prominent role played by scented candles at such events. Not sure if people who like them really like them and expect others to do the same or if it's just that they're an easy to hand sub-$10 gift. For the record, I don't care for them.

Really getting a kick out of the cold, bracing. May make myself a stiff drink.
