someone else's jasmine


I have certifiable jasmine envy.  This is a magnificent, extraordinary array a couple of streets away, and it smells quite wonderful (I even pulled my mask down to get a proper noseful).  I wish we could import it into the house: there is an unmistakable smell of Deceased Rodent, somewhere (either above or below Alice's closet, seemingly), and whilst I know that the only thing to do is to wait it out, this nonetheless raises that gloomy and perplexing question: how did it get there?  The cats are no help.
