Yesterday’s post brought two yellow books, separately. It’s quite pleasing the way accidental groups work. I put them on the table, one on top of the other, and it just looked good. The other week I had two green and black books on the go, and even Daughter stopped in her tracks to admire them together. During my pink week recently, I received a parcel with one red and one non-garish pink book, and they, too, combined nicely. And so on. I just read in a house magazine about the woman who claimed to have good colour sense, because her mother used to hang the washing according to colour. All I can say to that, is that in that case Daughter will have a terrific sense of colour one day. Ahem.

Hey, my new book is going to be yellow - is this a good thing?

I’m sure it is. Though I’ll need to see what it looks like next to the other ones!

Then there are the people who arrange their bookshelves according to colour – yellow all in a row, black in a row, etc. I think these people only exist in design magazines. Not brilliant if you’re not good at remembering the colour of the book you’re looking for…

It’s not just the washing for me. The dishwasher is a lot happier when the blue mug stands next to the blue glass and the blue lid and so on.
Do I need to see anyone about this?
