Strange...and lovely

stickywicket

My sense of smell has returned.

I don't know when or where it went but I've been years without it. Suddenly, two days ago, when applying the perfume I have to use because I know from many years ago that it's OK on me, I vaguely smelt it.

Yesterday, in the supermarket, I passed by the bakery. Ooooh yes!

Last night I had a bath and not only felt clean but also smelt it. Wonderful!

Then this morning, I walked past my pot of coriander...immediately walked back...and inhaled deeply with my nose right in it...and began devouring it from the pot :oops:

I don't know if it'll last so I intend to make the most of it while it does. (Mr SW will be banned from kicking his shoes off )

SW this is brilliant, my father lost his sense of smell, and we didn't really know how much it effected him till the hospice he went to wrote a book of memories and he put in how he missed the smell of food ..newly mown grass...and the list went on ,,I am very pleased for you ..x

Just think, now you'll find out why Mr Stickywicket flaps the sheets in the morning

How wonderful! Hope it lasts. Get some lillies, beautiful scent.

Ah, smells: I reckon the best are freshly-baked bread, babies, coffee, freesias and Johnson's baby talc. I hope this lasts, yes? DD

stickywicket

Oh dear! I speed read DD's post as 'freshly baked babies' :shock: and did a double take.

The magic goes on. Smells are great

Brilliant news Sticky, I have a friend who lost her sense of smell years ago and know what it meant to her. That must have came as a total shock after all this time. It will have it's advantages and disadvantages, I don't think I need to spell out the disadvantages xx

have you guys any idea how special you are? You always take pleasure in someone else's good fortune even when things are rubbish for you. I feel very privileged to count you as my cyber friends.

Well, this morning Mr SW mowed the lawn

This afternoon I made a salmon pie

Aint life complicated

Slosh

Hope you enjoyed the smell of the new mown grass. Must be wonderful for you, fingers crossed it lasts.

Shame about the tuna. I eat a lot of tuna. It's a very smelly fish, isn't it :roll:

barbara12

I don't like the smell of fish full stop but love to eat it..

Boomer13

That's wonderful Sticky, I can't imagine not having sense of smell; I love mine. Especially at this time of year.

Hope it lasts for you.

stickywicket

Thanks Anna. So far, so good.

What's equally odd is that I've not used my steroid nasal inhaler for about 10 days and I'm OK on that front too :? but

villier

That's amazing I am so pleased for you long may it continue, I hope it will happen one day for my friend as well. xx

stickywicket

My apologies for harping on about this but it still takes me by surprise every day.

Today our first white peony is out. Unlike their earlier red cousins, these have a gorgeous scent and today I got it for the first time in years. It's all the more precious as my Dad 'donated' the plant after moving to an apartment with no garden. He couldn't bear to leave it.

Best 'regular' scents - the bathroom. And me after a bath

Slosh

Don't apologise. It's a privilege to be able to share your joy in this.

villier

Hey!!! no apologies needed, you harp on all you want SW, I am over the moon for you that was sweet music to my ears xx

applerose

It's good to hear you are enjoying it.

Did you, like me, used to always smell the nappies when brought in from the line, marrianne? It kind of made up for having to smell them beforehand

Slosh

Smelling nappies? Not me, I used disposables. But you can't beat the smell of a johnson's baby.
