Those seasonal scents...
Good morning everyone!
Today is Tuesday, I don't have class until 2.15pm, so I slept in until 9. There isn't a cloud in the sky, it's 32*C (90*F) outside, a tiny, slight breeze every now and then. It's very quickly approaching summer here in the southern hemisphere. The whole house is opened up, every window and door wide open to let the air in.
And the day really kicked off with me smelling lots of the things that make up summer for me. Sunscreen, juice, flowers, salt water, those things are pretty typical of summer for most people.
Summer for me is also fly spray in the house, dust and cigarette smoke in the air and an ice-cold beer at 10pm on the porch, petrol fumes on a hot road, and general flowery smells at midnight outside. The smell of shaving cream in the morning in a hot, steamy, sunny bathroom is also a big one, that kicks my mind into summer every time!
So whether you're approaching summer, or winter, what are those smells that really make it that season, and distinguish it from the last?
