Favourite smells or not

Not my favourite smell is the one that is outside my house at the moment not more than 40 feet away is a very mucky muck spreader spreading delightful cow poo and God knows what else all over the field at the bottom of my garden It certainly distracts from the lovely view I have of Skiddaw at the moment.Although with the sun shining as it is at the moment 11.45 am Friday the poo has a somewhat attractive sheen to it.

She's probably not qualified - spreading muck isn't enough - you need to be able to properly backstab as well.

However, prombabe does seem to have a deep appreciation of S hit. Which, I presume is one of the few statuatory requirements.

Coal tar soap, bonfires, forests, longiflorum lillies, double fantasy freesia, Sunday roast, bacon rolls, fried/roasted garlic, porcini mushrooms, chipotle chillies, brandy - just a few of my favourites. Very under-rated sense really when you think about it.

Petrol, Pears Soap, babies (but not their nappies!), wet dogs, nice aftershave (even the ugliest man is attractive if he wears nice aftershave!)

Eucalyptus trees after the rain. Lavender. Firelighters

. Earl Grey tea. Freshly mown grass even though it sets off my hayfever. Chimney smoke in the autumn and winter. Coriander. Cumin. And my favourite perfume.

Least favourites...any aftershave my ex hubby used to wear

, Seafield, marijuana, patchouli. My dog's ears

. Nappy sacks even before you put anything really smelly in them.

I like the smell of home-baking and shoe repair shops - all that leather!

It might be industrial pollution to some, but you can't beat the smell from a coffee roasting factory or from a brewery or distillery. You have to go over to the wild west of Edinburgh to enjoy the latter, but we get an occasional waft of coffee over chez Tactifer (is this possibly from Algies at Kinnaird Park??) Bakery aromas are also a delight.

We live five miles down wind of the factory that makes shredded wheat. On a good day the smell of toasted wheat can make you unbearably hungry.
