Memory Trigger

[Pegasus928]

Well here I am. Sat at work in my little porta-cabin, in the middle of the desert in Doha minding my own business when in walks one of my colleagues with a huge box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Talk about transporting me back to 2 weeks ago
We went to the Krispy Kreme on the 192, the one that is just past Old Town and before the turn off for Ponciana Bvd. My DS and DD were fascinated as they have it set up in such a way that you can watch the doughnuts going through the fryer, being flipped over to do the other side, then being iced (or frosted as they like to call it). What amazed me was how many of the mis-shapes and bad ones were lying on the floor. They seemed to waste more than they sold.
What was the last 'Memory Trigger' that you had that took you back to Florida?

First time we went I had used a particular fabric softener on most of our clothes. I don't use it that often now, but whenever I do I'm straight back in the World!!! Strange, I know. Probably why I don't use it that much now as it makes me want to cry because I'm not there!

Everytime I make a cup of coffee. Last 2 Augusts being there for 25 nights so bought 99 cents coffee mugs to keep in hotel room, I wanted to throw them away at end of the holidays DW wants to bring them home(guess who won?)
We now have 4 mugs, no doubt after August it will be 6 mugs.

I'm another one for the smell of cinammon! We had cinammon swirls in the office yesterday and I tried to explain to them all that it was the smell of America - think they all thought I was talking crazy again!

this will probably sound daft!! - But whenever we have a nice sunny day ( you know those once a year type days!! ) - it always makes me depressed for a couple of minutes - I stand there and think 'Yeah this weather is great - but I'm not in Florida so how good can it really be!!' - I'm the weird one who actually misses Florida even more when we have sunshine than when we have rain!!

ooh yes and cinnamon does it for me every time too!!

For me, it's just photos of my last trip that do it. I have a few on the wall next to my desk and when it all gets too much, I tell my office-mate, 'I'm going to my happy place; I'll be back in a few minutes'. I then gaze longingly at the pictures and it all takes me back - until it's time to make an unwelcome return to reality.
