Smells from my apartment

Burnt toast in the mornings or anytime of day
The lady in number four's wet washing on the line
everyone's smells different but you can tell her's anytime
Cigarette smoke, barbeque, onions, perfume
Solvents the workmen use on the building two doors down
Wet greenery, damp Earth
Exhaust fumes
Second hand perfume on the suit of my husband as he arrives from work and heads to the "decontamination room" (the second bedroom)
And straight into the shower
Where I sit on the side of the bath while he showers and we talk about our days.

Glum

Ink Pink is sad. She realises that "at the age of thirty[something] she will never drive through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair". She's definitely not into jumping of rooves though. She needs to listen to the three little birds who tell her "every little thing is gonna be alright". So that's what she is doing now.
