I've just been in B&Q.
I've no idea as to why, but I really like the smell of that place.
In fact, I'm still sitting in their car park so I think I'll pop back in for another ming at it.
(Also to buy a specialist bulb, the price of which I previously balked at.)

Can't say I've noticed a particular pong in B&Q but I can remember back to old hardware shops that as soon as you went into them there was a distinctive smell to them, maybe parrafin or paint or a mix of the two. I can recall going into Gray's on George Street, loved the smell of that place.

Fire lighters. I just love the smell of them and really have to stop myself biting into them.
Being scared, I sometimes worry myself at the sort of thing I do to get my fear kick.

I'm not a 'flower' person or in any way greenfingered however, I love when all those daffodils bloom in the road verges in the early Spring. It cheers me up no end.

I really weirdly enjoy emptying and re-filling the dishwasher.

I like filling ours. Emptying, not so much.

I've no interest in finances, big money or the like but, I like to sit and count the £2 coins I save in a tin box.

I like pulling the yellow heads off dandelions.
I'm actually fastidious about it and I feel a great sense of defeat/failure should one of the weedy blighters go on to develop its seed head.

On the smells theme, I remember being addicted to the smell of the Speedway at Meadowbank when I was a kid.

Deconstructing beer mats. There's nothing to beat peeling off a perfect intact layer. I can't leave them alone.

Tightly laced up shoes/boots. Re- tie mines regularly throughout the day. Always have a good tie up before KO because if I'm feeling good then so will the team, but loose laces will be replicated by loose play on the park. Fact.

I wouldn't really have gone back in for a sniff. I did go back for the bulbs, though, and took the opportunity ...

If a large gf e, uncrushed bit falls into the jug, it's a disappointment.

Apparently you carefully unfold the tucked in foil wraps, gently press/massage the cube until it breaks up (it now resembles a foil pillow), then you tear a corner and pour out!?!
Allegedly that's how they were designed!

Burning and scraping old paint off wood with a heat gun and a scraper. Very satisfying as it blisters and then scrapes off in a big long strip.
