We've just had new carpet put down on the stairs in our house. Random thing to write about you might think, but for me, it's a bit Proustian.
Ahhh, 'Carpet Smell'. A bit like the fact that new cars and books have their own special smell, so does carpet. And it triggers happy memories of childhood trips to B&Q, and rolling through the giant carpet pyramid things.
Especially the ones really close together that squeezed you a bit like a mangle.

Aah - memories. Winning the European Cup with Stenhousemuir in their awesome purple shirts, signing Matt Le Tissier who could score from literally everywhere, Signing the same five cheap, speedy players for every club you manage (Valentine? Thomas Lagerlof anyone?)
Yep - I got Sensible Soccer off of XBLA and it feels like I'm twelve again, when footie games only used one button and were slightly more interesting than girls.*
Happy days.
* Alright - that last bit isn't true - more easily accessible than girls is probably more likely. In fact, just plain accessible is more likely, being that girls didn't like talking to me when I was twelve - probably because I talked about Sensible Soccer all the time...
