Smell · 9:32pm Jul 5th, 2018
Not long ago, I walked past a stall that smelled of those evenings I'd spend at my father's office as a kid, helping him get computers working, with a distinct scent of the blue and pink colours he insisted on painting the walls and the faintest whiff of those funny little black-and-white icons Macs used to have.
Smell is weird.
Do you have synesthesia? Because that sounds a bit like synesthesia.

Not that I know of. It wasn't a sensory confusion. Smell is just evocative like that.
Sounds can do that just as well. That Apple 'chong!' noise when it hits something wrong will stop me right in my tracks.
Yeah, it's amazing how an unusual smell can bring back vivid memories!
