On Fridays, the graduate residence I’m living in in Weyburn Terrace takes a nice fresh smell. Tide is the smell of the week-end: laundry time for most of us.

This week-end will have the smell of dust too as we head towards the desert, the Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs.


PS- I assume it is Tide because it smells like the pack I have and because it has a lot of shelf space in the local supermarket – but most soap must smell alike.
