Activity 3.3* in the Big Red Book** calls for me to write down three of a variety of things, including sounds, textures and odours for an indoor space. Now textures I can do really easily, there’s the rough carpet, smooth table, soft yarn… Sounds are also fairly easy – the washing machine is going in the background, the guinea pigs are making little wheeps and rustling their bedding as they move around their run and my fingers are making the reassuring tapping noise that tells me I’m typing.
But odours are much more difficult, I tend not to distinguish individual odours in a room, probably the only one I can identify for here is the hay in the guinea pig run. I guess I could wander over to the fruit bowl and take a big sniff or make myself a drink to smell, but the limit of three seems a little high for that particular sense.
Ah well, back to it, I guess.
*Apologies to anyone I’m ahead of, you’ll catch me up after the bump turns into a baby.

I find smells invade my nose way too easily. It gets annoying when out doing girly shopping and watching outside Lush as others joyously breathe in the good enough to eat soaps. Anything vaguely perfumey or smokey and I sneeze, and have to let the bathroom smells dissolve before using if someone has used something flowery. See I didn’t go down the predictable poo route 🙂
So my nose is more bloodhound than human and I’ve adjusted to it being on high alert. I keep Kleenex in business and will always know when there is a gas leak. This better not be my super power when we all become superheroes….
I don’t know, it could be a fairly useful super power. “I can smell where the bad guys went, follow me old chums!”
But it perhaps wouldn’t be pleasant depending on what the bad guys smelt of… 😉
I suspect the bad guys would have the stench of failure if I have a chance at beating them. if they hid on the first floor of the library I’d never find them in amongst the great unwashed. If master criminals get their henchmen to forgo the soap, they will never be chained!
