Woke to news of yet another earth tremor near Indonesia. Is the world collapsing into itself? Is this the herald of that final "whimper"? Sorry for the purple prose - it's so tempting to ramble when the last time I jotted down disconnected thoughts I was sitting among leaves in the Vienna Woods and my hair was still naturally blonde. It was last century when I think about it, but then again most of my life is "last century". (Sigh) Later this morning I picked up the novel I'm currently reading and was really drawn in by the descriptive narrative - "Perfume" by Patrick Suskind. A learned colleague recommended it so I'm giving it a go. The descriptions of life and odours from centuries ago are so vivid you feel you could touch the characters and clearly visualise the settings...... Paris....(Sigh)
So, dear readers what do I have to look forward to this afternoon? A "larger size" Lean Cuisine gourmet meal served with instant coffee and a huge whiff of Patrick Suskind's "Perfume". What else? All this my sanguine readers and then it's back to work..................

Welcome to the Learning 2.o program- your post made me nostalgic, for a time when my hair was naturally any colour... :)
Beautiful writing- I am looking forward to reading more posts...
Enjoy!
Sorry you found the book wanting! I have such developed olfactory senses that I can fall in love at a sniff! Men with yummy aftershaves can find me following them down the street! I guess that's what made me wonder if it was really possible to influence people by smell as described. Interesting thought! Alas I am a sad case too, I cleaned out my fridge!
