modern life
After finally getting my Palm to synchronize may mail and cheating my firewall, there is time again to think on things, like the meaning of modern life, flying from here to there and a fragrance with lily of the valley, hyacinth and a mechanic holding it all together.
Well, to be honest, all my thinking hasn’t helped me a lot and I feel like walking on these belts in the airports where you make easy, little steps and at the same time you move at a speed of a young cow, first time out on the green, after a long winter. But here, the belt seems to go in circles and I seem to pass by the same bottles over and over again. Undecavertol (grrrrreeeeeen! like ivy), lilial, jasmine and this and that and what comes out is a flowery something. Not mille de fleur, but something flowery with some dirt in the back. Without going epically into details: I do not get my scent the way I want it and I think it is time to get off this belt, walking slowly, not through modern architecture but maybe woods….I have seen this before, there is something missing, and I know it is there, somewhere in the shelves….
More activities this weekend: L’air du désert marocain, bottling and boxing and fiddling around with orange ribbons. W. is ready to hit the boxes this Saturday, modern perfumery slave, as always not asking for more than a few spritzes of the l’air for free. W. be praised!
Greetings and my best fragrant wishes for your weekend. Off the belt now…

Brussels airport… HAH !
[Many funny memories of it]
That “road to nowhere” [i.e., Talking Heads song !] feeling probably means that you need to walk away from it for awhile, in order to return with fresh eyes [and nose]…
So frustrating.
Scented, loving wishes for a fruitful weekend…
Kisses to you, Mama, and W- [and Momo, let’s not forget him, LOL !]

What a party is going on in Brussels, according to the airport ;-)
Tell me, Andy, what do you have to travel to Brussels so often for? Your non-perfumer job, I suppose?

Dear Chayaruchama
You got it right! No frustrations, though, just a gambling feeling. I wish you and your family a sunny weekend with not too much snow.
Dear Anya
you got it right, too! There ain’t no parties for me in Brussels, but …I am giving my best to make Switzerland seen overthere. More on the other side of Mr. A: www.euresearch.ch
