Today everything smelt wonderful.

It might just be because I am finally regaining my sense of smell after a couple of weeks of being sickly, but today everything smelt wonderful.
It was dim and grey this morning (when I got up early to call the IRD) and the whole day was cool but very humid. The morning smelt like dirt, good earthy spring time dirt. It is a smell akin to rain on hot concrete, but more... subtle. Then the wind came up off the warm sea and the kids playing soft tennis on the balconies started shrieking and everything smelt salty. Now the wind is blowing a gale and my doors are shaking and everything smells new.
