So for me - I have ZERO sense of smell, literally nothing! Yet I wear perfume every single day. No idea whatsoever what it smells like, just like when cooking - haven't a clue what any food smells like, or last week when putting up our real Christmas tree and hubby said how it smelt and I said does it?? Haven't a clue lol. 
What about you?? Anything ?

Aged about 5, at Baildon Gala, Mum pushed me to the start line for the kiddies race. I was good at running so I was in the lead, but I stopped just short of the line and  looked around - I wasn't sure if I was allowed to win it.  Mum screamed at me to carry on, but by then a tiny blonde girl with ringlets had passed me so I came second!  

A good learning experience!!!

Falling in Lake Windermere on my 5th birthday - I still remember it.

The first Grade 1 at Geography O-level in my school, having been taught largely by a tape-recorder, the master concerned disappearing to run his magistrate's bench - and at the time when Latin was being gradually dumped.... I went on to a First in the subject at Uni....

Oh, I got 98% in my Latin unseen translation (o) - I had seen it  before hur hur hur - Hannibal is hunted down by a Roman army I think.

Greek 90% - Anabasis - Greeks run towards the sea shouting Thalatta thalatta! The sea, the sea, because being a sea-faring nation they know they can build ships and sail away ( home)

made a complete mess of Latin poetry - aquilae circulant super rupibus

the eagles circle over the crags - which is quite poetic really. I missed it. ho hum....and screwed apes flores ores - bees sticking  their mouths into flowers - miser Petre!

You made me laugh Jourdain.  Similar story from me.  School sportsday when my son was 4 or 5.  Off they all go racing.  My little son starts running, spots me, stops and waves and calls out loudly "I love you Mummy".  It did cause a lot of laughter!
