Added 2023-01-10 19:37:50 +0000 UTCAfter a lovely long weekend, I have two words for you: **Mornden** - *n.* the self contained pyjama universe shared by two people on a long weekend morning, withdrawing from the world and letting the hours slow to a crawl, coming as close as they'll ever get to pausing the flow of time, even as they know it'll eventually rush back in all the faster. (from *morn*, morning + *den*, a comfrotable room that affords private time. Pronounced "*mawrn*-duhn.") **Petrichor** (thank you to the sub who shared this with me, I love it! ❣️) - *n.* a distinctive, earthy, usually pleasant odor that is associated with rainfall especially when following a warm, dry period and that arises from a combination of volatile plant oils and geosmin released from the soil into the air and by ozone carried by downdrafts (from Ancient Greek πέτρα - *pétra* 'rock', or πέτρος *pétros* 'stone', and ἰχώρ *ikhṓr*, the ethereal fluid that is the bl0od of the gods in Greek mythology.) Sorry these pics are a bit grainy - I took them on my phone!
