We returned from our trip safe and sound. Yay!
BUT, now there is this fishy stink in Muscat...and the winds are really blowing today and I can't seem to keep the smell out of my house. Gaggy ick!
The smell seems to be invading from those weird open vents in the bathroom. How important are those really? I mean, could I tape them up until the smell goes away? That is where it is easiest for the stench to sneak in...ok, there is no sneaking about it - it is simply invading. Invading my smell space. Which is nothing new here in Oman...people invade my smell space all the time...but this is in the AIR...that means it is all around and embedding itself into my hair, my pores, my clothes, my organs every time I breathe in....the Stench (oh yes, it is bad enough to officially be named and recognized) is trying to suffocate me. I can tell.
More on our vacation later...I have to go spray some more room deodorizer and take a shower and try to not smell like the stench...oh and put frosting on some cupcakes and go buy a bicycle...today we celebrate Angelina's birthday at Cafe Ceramique. Hope Stench doesn't ruin this day.
Family!

Welcome back!
Red Tide... it's the stinky fish cabbage gumbo smell that was here just before you moved to Muscat. Awful isn't it?
Living by the sea ain't all it's cracked up to be I guess.
you could try keeping the bathroom vents on, thereby blowing air out, as opposed to letting it in...
angry - that's for the welcome...if this is what it smells like though...:)
Boxster - the vents are on, and it seems to be making it worse not better...maybe they are installed the wrong way...that would just figure.
the smell isn't as bad as it was this morning.
Welcome back!
The stinky nasty fishy smell is phenomenon called "Red Tide". Dead sea weeds, dead fish and algae, as a result of hot weather, humidity or other reasons caused by human activity are pushed to the shore, resulting in this "fishy" smell.
Hope the kids enjoy painting today! I remember birthday parties at Chuckie Cheese!
