I've just returned from The Parents where I was forced into gruelling manual labour (painting door frames & cabinets, moving bags of compost and cleaning the inside of car windscreens), and caught a most distinctive smell as I cycled up the Northrepps Road. There must be linden trees in the woods surrounding Northrepps Cottage. Thanks for that, Prime Minister.
Reminds me of a story by deSade ("Die Blüten der Kastanie", in Erzählungen und Schwänke eines provenzalischen Troubadours aus dem XVIII. Jahrhundert, sorry, I only know the German edition). Maybe Fanny Love payed a visit ?
Ooh! Ooh! I remember kastanie being conkers/horse chestnuts, and at first I thought blüten was blood, but having thought about it (i.e. google translated it) I realise it means bloom or flower.
Now I'm worried about the Unter den Linden in Berlin!
ReplyDeletePerhaps it may be wise to take a peg for your nose next time you fancy a stroll down the boulevard?
DeleteOr maybe not.....?

Well, it was rather off putting.

ReplyDeleteI'm slightly shocked. Shocked I tell you.
Well, we're all retiring the the fainting room for swooning and, well, fainting, if you'd like to join us?
DeleteMy fave gay bar as a young fag had smelled of cum.
ReplyDeleteSo I take it you won't be using a fainting chaise, then?
DeleteTin Foil entry submitted!
ReplyDeleteDid I win yet?
Only this, so far!
Delete"What's that fragrance you're wearing darling... "come to me"?
ReplyDelete"No"
"Well it smells like cum to me!"
Ha! Princess, you truly are the doyenne of double entendres!

ReplyDeleteSaw The Martian yesterday. Very well done.
Was it This one Mr Lax?
DeleteHA! [has 1960s flashback]
DeleteI'm going to see it next week.
DeleteThe Matt Damon one, rather than Princess's martian... :)
I'm having visions of Matt Damon in a green lam`e bodysuit
DeleteAh, so it's not all bad, then?
