Do the days of the week have colours to you?

[Roslynmuse]

Now I think more about it, there's a combination of colour and texture, and sometimes 'impossible' colours associated here - Wednesday is custard texture but both yellow and red (but not orange) simultaneously. There's also a touch of opulently togged duvet about it, but that might just be wishful thinking.

I once had a beautiful dream involving a helterskelter that was also a raspberry blancmange (rosemange?)

Great mushrooms for dinner this evening!

Magic.

After two blue days a run of five dark greys starts soon.

Thursday was always payday in the good old days.

That explains it ER

The days of the week have different weights. Wednesday and Thursday are the lightest. Sunday night at 23.06 is the heaviest.

If, though, you are compiling a colour table, I would like to contribute:

Mon - Midnight Blue, Tue - Pillar Box Red, Wed - Racing Green, Thur - Daffodil Yellow, Fri - Orange (Summer) Pink (Winter)
Sat - Sky Blue, Sun - On a scale between Deep Purple and the earlier mentioned Puce.

Wednesday is custard texture

I agree

an annoyingly lumpy sort of day

[Don Petter]

Some are more intense than others for me.

Definitely Saturday yellow and Sunday black.
Friday greyish, perhaps with a hint of hound's-tooth pattern.
Wednesday maroon.
Thursday a sort of pale magenta.
Monday and Tuesday both brownish-grey and somewhat undefined.

I'll get on the couch now ...

Born On A Blue Day by Daniel Tammet ... "I was born on 31 January 1979 - a Wednesday. I know it was a Wednesday, becasue the date is blue in my mind and Wednesdays are always blue, like the number nine or the sound of loud voices arguing."

A fascinating read

I don't understand the question! Do the people who've replied mean that every Thursday (for example) is "puce", regardless of the Season, or whether they're in the Cotswolds or in Scunthorpe?

(And, sals, isn't The Mind Readers Allingham's weakest novel?)

Ferney, I can't find my copy, surely it's not gone missing. However, I'm pretty sure it was her last novel and her husband Youngman Carter may have finished it. She died in 1966 of cancer I believe.

I agree that The Mind Readers is not among her best, but I'm fairly sure her last novel, finished by her husband, was Cargo of Eagles. MA had already drafted the novel so all her husband had to do was finish it off in accordance with her plan.

I have a special fondness for Flowers For The Judge - probably because of the charming final chapter, long after we know whodunnit.

[salymap]

Yes,I'm sure you're right AM I have 18 of her books and love most of them. The one about the publishing house, exactly like a building I worked in; her descriptions of London's alleyways and back streets and some of her almost Dickensian characters.

Sorry,off my own topic

A quick Wiki-check shows that you're quite right, AM (I had thought sals was right and that Cargo was earlier.

Mind Readers aside, I enjoy all the Allinghams - possibly Hide My Eyes my favourite.


(Yes, it is "off-topic", but at least I have a glimmer of understanding what's going on! The "what fragrence is Friday" doesn't compute with me!)
