Of all the senses, smell has the strongest association to memory.

Today I smelt water coming out of a rubber hose. Not too sure which material the scent came from.

It reminded me precisely of hot days as a child, sitting naked in an inflatable pool in the garden. That's how I used to spend my time, and how I used to take baths (replacing the pool with a wash tub).

Some memories just can't be erased, no matter how hard you try. They pop up at the most unwanted and unexpected moments.

A pool like this would be freaking awesome, now.
