Steve has synesthesia, which is apparently quite unusual in a) men and b) right-handers. It’s inherited, too, so maybe our kids will be able to taste shapes and smell music. Steve sees people and days of the week (among other things?) as colours. Apparently I am a rich purply shade. Damn right.

Wow! I know next to nothing about it, but I found this interesting article. http://www.apa.org/monitor/mar01/synesthesia.html

Thanks! I keep bugging him about it now - asking what colour people we know are, etc.

that was the first thing I thought. I am dying to know what color I am!! somehow a deep purply hue seems perfect for you.
