ADVICE

Normally I kind of hesitate to give advice.  Like, what the heck do I know.  Well I can confidently give you some advice on one thing right now.

When you are eating a piece of bread, and bring it up to your mouth, which just happens to be near your nose I might add, and that piece of bread smells like pachouli....the most vile odour in the world, you know absolutely that the bread is mouldy, even if it doesn't look it and I advise you to NOT eat it.

Pachouli is truly the most chokingly terrible smell there is, besides body odours of different sorts.  And I am not going to apologize to those people that have the audacity to wear it and freely and gaily walk through crowds or sit close to the public in restaurants.  Shame on you!!!!

I was eating a piece of bread, only three days old I might add, with a fat layer of tuna fish salad on it, open faced.  I was so looking forward to it, to the point where my mouth was gleeking.  As I opened my mouth to take a giant delicious bite, I screeched to a stop.  I smelled pachouli.  I even looked around to see if some unwanted entity had entered the kitchen.  Nope!  I then started to sniff around, which led my nose to the crust on the bread.  What the hell???!!!!  And that is when I finally nailed the exact odour that is pachouli.  I couldn't quite put my finger on it before.  But now I can.  It smells like really bad mouldy bread.  

I looked it up once.  Pachouli was put on dead bodies that were laid out in parlours, as they did in the old days, to mask the smell of a dead decaying body.  So you people out there that have faulty smellers, if you wear pachouli, that is what you smell like. Masked decaying body or mouldy old bread.  Either one is of the utmost unpleasantness.    Just STOP IT!!!!

It has been fantastic having Ange here.  When someone moves into your house for a time, you know that eventually they will be moving on.  Consequently you don't really pay much attention, if any, to the things that might bug you other wise,

But when someone is permanent you are taking something of a risk.  And I can see with Ange there simply isn't anything, not one thing, that is upsetting or annoying about her.  She absolutely knows her boundaries, is open enough but not overly so.  It has been such a delight to have her here.  We are both fairly early risers so we get ourselves a cup of coffee and meet in the living room for an hour of convo and world problem solving.  I am so enjoying her company.  And Monte loves her.  They have lived under the same roof for years and they understand each other well.

I am cutting this short tonight.  I am too happy to write anymore.  Stay safe and healthy and hug someone.  TTYL
