First day

Hello. I know that soon this will be as automatic when I start the day as making my first cup of tea and checking emails. But, right now, I'm wondering if this is going to work. I've already had a message saying my blog name doesn't exist - "aromaticwords" but then it suddenly appeared again. Now that was hard enough choosing the blog title. I think it may change a few times before I get it right.
So. This is the start. I will let these initial concerns go and settle down in the next few days.
I'm interested in discussing books, if I've read them, what you find interesting on a particular day, or what I happen to, what concerns, what moves, what inspires and what words come out as you stare at the screen. And not the ones when the computer doesn't do what you want.

And I'm interested in discussing vintage perfumes. Francois Coty when he was at his most productive because I'm writing a book where he features heavily, following my first novel, 'Meeting Coty' which is about a young woman desperate to work for him.

Also Brazil. I dance with a group who play north east Brazilian rhythms - maracatu based with all sorts of idiosyncratic twists and influences. Juba do Leao. Look at their website www.jubadoleao.com/jdl The drums are fantastic and the dancers.... nothing like them.
