photo Britta Dear You,
These days Berlin smells like a heavily perfumed woman - the lime trees flower and their honey-sweet smell comes into every room - wonderful!
I'm glad that I am here at this time!
"Frau Toni" is a perfume manufactory in Berlin as you know, because you once asked me which perfume I wear, and other than my friend Hildegard I do not keep that as "TOP SECRET". So you know that I use No. 37 - "Violet" - which was the perfume of Marlene Dietrich - and is not half as heavy as it sounds.
(By the way: this is in Germany the only perfume that contains violet - you have to travel to Paris to get one from Serge Lutens)
And this "Frau Toni" has also created an air freshener (perfume for a room - which I normally detest) that is called "Berlin" - and is limetree-flower smell in a bottle - heaven!
Outside I often see bees or bumble bees that lie on the ground - if you bend and listen carefully you'll here them bawl songs as
"Let's go for a drink, forget it from now,
Put it behind you, I think it's your round.
Put it behind you, I think it's your round.
Cause you're my mate and I will stand by you,
You're my mate and I will stand by you...."
You're my mate and I will stand by you...."
Right Said Fred - so help that little totally pissed little mate on a place where no-one might trod upon it...
Yours truly,
Britta
