bleurgh, shiver

Some blokes just been to the house to finish off the new burglar alarm install (apparently the insurance company insisted on a certain type of alarm or something so it had to be all redone). He must have bathed in a vat of perfumed deoderant. Horrible scented stuff all over the house now. So I'm sat at my desk at the top of the house with all the windows open and a gale blowing through.
Windchill minus oodles.
but no smell (apart from the pig farm down the road. Lovley. not. but still better than smell of perfumed deoderant). Rather be frigging freezing than have icky smells around...

note to self : buy full face gas mask for whitters. Add modivications (plus drip stand) for drinking tube connected to ltr bottle of vodka.
hic. Yay! :)

It's amazing how some people drench themselves in the stuff, I find it especially vile when I'm cycling offroad and you can smell the walkers at 100 yards-plus.

I know old people do it because the sense of smell degrades with age (so they use more and more to get the same perceived effect). Maybe it's smokers who do it, too.

Oi! My sense of smell got better. I can no longer wear perfume at all now, although I used to like it when younger. When older daughter,

was in her teens she used to take 2 hours to get ready to leave the house in the morning and spray all kinds of things all over. I had to air the house afterwards and since then have been almost allergic to aftershave and perfume. They make me feel really ill. I have had to ask students with strong aftershave not to wear it to class, and suffer when some are not good at hygiene and I have to sit close to help them.

Me also. As I get older, the more that unnatural smells annoy me.

I keep thinking I should go get my nose trained and see if I can't use my sense of smell professionally ro something :)
