Oh and also the smell of tarmac being laid, new carpet, new vinyl, fresh paint, and (within reason, and outdoors) silage and horse poo. And sawdust. And the London Underground.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 04/01/2021 17:48

As in the smells of all those things.

I like a proper central room light with a bright bulb

None of this dim, atmospheric lighting for me, I like, to be able to see!

Christmas films when it's not Christmas
Instant coffee

Oh definitely silence and being alone. Eating out alone. Very cheap crisps (those 20p cheesy ones and space raiders and happy shopper crisps) mopping, hanging laundry, Fray Bentos pies, living in a very small house alone (sadly haven't achieved that), changing nappies (I love making them all clean, dry and comfy) and I loved childbirth! (The easy bit. The actual children I find quite difficult. )

Supermarket food shopping. Obviously, with COVID, I've not done much of it these past few moths and we've been doing online orders for years anyway, so I rarely get to indulge Sad

Me too CheviotEwe, I enjoy a mindless drift round the aisles. Happy memories, eh? Grin

SomewhatBored · 04/01/2021 17:58

Nicolas Cage. I lust over his every film. Even 'Left Behind'.

AgeLikeWine · 04/01/2021 17:59

Cricket, the greatest game ever invented.

The smell of Jet A-1 aviation fuel. It’s the smell of work, of travel and of adventures.
