Where can I put the treats in ? USB port or disk drive ?

I like the smell of wet soil, petrichor ! Wet graslands smells different to a forest and rain on stones makes a different smell too. Hmmmm ....

Petrichor comes from the Greek for stone and the blood of the gods.
Plant seeds are coated with oil that inhibits them from growing when there is no water available. Otherwise the seeds would die when it's dry. The rain washes away the oil and the combination of the oil and soil chemicals creates the aroma.
Dry rocks will smell of the minerals in the rock only and a forest has seeds and spores different to grasslands so a different oil and therefore smell.

I would try custard.

Hmmmmmmmmm, have to " love " language teachers who have students learn words they will never use naturally. -10 for not a good word .... + 11 for an interesting new word. How many folks know what this word means?

• Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɪkɔːr/) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Greek πέτρα petra, meaning "stone", and ἰχώρ īchōr, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology

I really do use it.
And it was used throughout a season of Doctor Who once.
But, you're right, very few non-Doctor Who fans know it.
wifey and I always use it on the rare occasion it rains here.
Oh, and i can't think of another and haven't checked, but I believe it is the only noun in English that describes an individual, particular smell rather than a general one.

You have to play 'Hard drive' and put them a distance away. This particular virus you need to get tricky with it in order to get it out of the computer.

I would try custard.

That might work as long as it is creamy.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That might work as long as it is creamy.

I add cheese.

I am not having a drunken Oli Kahn under my bed for Christmas!
He can come in the New Year!
Love to little Oli.
wifey is good and currently on the cooking sherry.
Tisgy is also fast asleep. But very well and happy, thanks.

Good evening Adam.

Glad to hear you are all well.

Oli Kahn insists: he wants to move to Fes whether I like it or not! What am I to do? Please let me know asap. Thanks .
Regards to Wifey and kisses to Tidgy.
