smelly imprint

you may have already noted that i'm partial to my sense of smell. i once did quite well in a quiz type thing where there were scents on cotton wool and you had to deduce what they were. i'm often sniffing my fingers - right now they smell of buttery croissant, yum. my boyfriend leaves a jacket of his here and i sometimes deliberately stop to smell it as I pass.
you also know i'm a hugger. one interesting by-product of hugging some people is that you sometimes get an imprint of a smell from them, so the hug lasts even longer :) just a few of the people i hug wear perfume or aftershave, and they get to linger longer.
when the kids bathed the dog last week i know it was in part to make him smell more like him again and less like others, having spent a couple of nights away in someone else's house. i don't wear perfume, and am not loyal to a brand of deodorant as it depends what's on offer ;) i do always use ecover washing powder tho, so in that sense might have a consistent smell to the nasally observant (is that a mixed metaphor too far?)
i struggle with the smell of cigarette smoke - as a child i once vomited on my uncle's shoes trying to get out of a car that smelt of nicotine (is it the nicotine that smells, I'm not sure?)
hope you weren't eating! i'm off to bed now. if i wasn't so collapse-in-a-heap tired, i'd put on some fresh bedding to snuggle down into. maybe i can manage a newly laundered pillow case?

ps, i notice that there are times when i can't even be bothered to capitalise, sorry. hope you can make sense of it. i will rest soon and return to full punctuation before the month is out.

pps i have a busier morning than i'd like - got to take the dog to be checked by a potential sitter so we can go to greenbelt. then looking forward to some lovely time with a friend in Lancaster. She's vegan and my attempts at shopping for lunch were very poor, resulting in a carrot and a cucumber. I hope your day has lovely friends and lovely smells in it too :D

I have spent a lot of today feeling grateful for lovely friends. Sat next to a farty dog, I'm less keen on smells right now...
