Over the weekend I bumped into something (or rather my nose did) that I’d totally forgotten about in having a girlfriend. And frankly, it’s got me feeling a little down.
Nope, it wasn’t the masses of overpriced vomit inducing mushy valentine cards or gifts, but the delightful scent that follows a freshly showered and suitably pampered lady. I’m not talking about some of these over powering perfumes that make your eyes water, but that massive range of lotions and shampoos that have exotic ingredients more akin to a sandwich spread or tin of fruit salad.
And it had this very strange effect on me. As I wandered towards to the exit at the gym my nostrils caught this wonderful tropical aroma that had me transfixed like one of the "bisto" kids. And for some odd reason, when this attack on my senses ceased I felt really down. I don’t know whether it was simply the result of this chemical attack, or that I was still coming down from one heck of a good workout, but it really left me with the sense of something missing.
Never the less, as a "half glass full" kind of person, I’m turning this on its head and making it motivate me further in my search (especially since my new profile picture has tripled the amount of viewers to my profile). Either that, or I'll take up sniffing shampoo bottles.
