oh i hear you.
before the age of 50 you either get flu.. the shits.. headaches...maybe a broken bone....after 50 you get all sorts of weird pains and sensations and you think they must be a tumour or something
last week i came home and commented on the nice smell coming from the kitchen..."are you making a cake?"... "no?!?"
after a couple of days of being able to smell a sort of alcoholic/vanilla smell i took to google where i discovered "phantosmia" which is where you smell things that dont exist... basically it could be a fault with the nervous system or brain seizures.. possibly caused by strokes or head injuries (regular readers may remember my ladder fall a few weeks ago...)
so by this time im shitting meself and book a doctors appointment... they couldnt find anything wrong so ive gone home completely dejected
on saturday the smell was really vivid and i thought i was going to keel over there and then....we were just off to the farmers market and as i was collecting the shopping bags i noted a bag of pears i forgot to unpack the week before.... all brown and rotting
no other fucker in the house could smell it!

Listening to Talk Talk lately. Life's What You Make It. Spirit of Eden album. The music lifts you to another place.
In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.
