Porphyrophile

Purple has always been a favourite colour of mine. I never knew there was a word for it. That’s kinda cool.

As a child, I had a lot of purple stuff. Including a tomahawk bike that my Dad spray painted purple for me.

As an adult, purple has been a constant colour in my life. There have been rather a large number of bruised body parts in that colour too sadly.

In fact I’m wearing a purple top as I write this. Thankfully no bruises to go with it.

I find it fascinating how we’re drawn to certain colours. And don’t like others. Just goes to show how different we are (and the same too).

Prizes

I entered a photo of Buddy into a competition last year. It won! It was of Buddy doing his best ‘Pat Butcher’ impression.

Today the prizes arrived. A new saddle pad for Buddy and a snood for me. I’m sure Buddy will be thrilled. I know I will be when I wear my snood. I’m a big fan of a snood.

In fact, I’m a big fan of the word snood. It’s so descriptive and vague all at the same time. Makes you wonder where it came from.

Rainy day

As an equestrian, one of my most used apps is the weather. Totally failed me today as it didn’t really suggest it would be quite such a wet and miserable day. Oh well, luckily most of my plans were indoors.

I love the sound of rain. I find it rather peaceful. I also love words. So to find there’s a word that sums it up, makes me very happy indeed.
