you’re the only person I follow who regularly talks about Petrichor, which is odd for such a lovely word :)

see also Geosmin, a related, and I’d say, even lovelier word en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosmin

Today, via adactio.com/notes/11311, I learned of petrichor: “the earthy scent produced when rain falls”. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor)

One of my favourite words.

we had that yesterday - probably the same squall as I am North of Brighton. I heard despair too, the wife had hung some washing out
