Nostagia Ain't What It Used To Be...?

Believe me...in my time I have come across rancid old socks(tramp admitted to the medical ward with toenails grown through the soles of his boots springs to mind)....not a smell that is easy to forget.

No Margaret I also know the smell of rotting flesh:-

You give up too easily,
Although I said it started Friday, we need to go back to the Monday, before I went out and witnessed this:-

I had the forethought to prepare my supper, it was to be blue cheese and crackers, now as we all know the flavour of cheese improves at room temperature, so I unwrapped the cheese and put it on the lower shelf of my coffee table, this turned out to be a case of 'out of site out of mind' as I forgot all about it.
However four days of maturing there really did improve the flavour and the blue veins never have looked so blue!
So, Karma coming your way.
