Is it Thursday?

When I worked Monday - Friday, I always knew what day it was and each day came with a different 'feel' to it. Now I work sometimes, and with no pattern to the days I work. DH works for an agency so sometimes works and sometimes doesn't - again no pattern. So my days get muddled yet the minute I work out what day it is, the feeling comes back. Monday - oh no - Saturday -relax, Sunday a bit gloomy and so on. But there is no reason for me to have those feelings now. Does anyone else have feelings for particular days?

I do to grrrranny same as you oh no monday,but I like Tuesday so that's relaxing..used to be day off when working..Wednesday is a muddly neither here nor there day,Saturdays always had to work and hated with a passion,Sunday was always k*******d from Saturday and dreading Monday ...Friday was always shopping after work...don't know what happened to Thursday .....also 'see' days of the week in colour..Monday is pink,Tuesday is blue,Wednesday red,Thursday blue,Friday is green,Saturday is green and Sunday is red.......off to the nearest funny farm with me...grin

Colours for days sounds lovely - I'm envious.

See names in colour as well......must be imbibing some sort of hallucinogenic substance that I am unaware of grrrranny .....grin

I see the days of the week in colours too, nellie! Mine are Monday red, Tuesday crimson, Wednesday yellow, Thursday blue, Friday brown, Saturday yellow, Sunday blue. Also the months of the year, but not as strongly.

Littlenellie Sun 12-Aug-12 10:39:20

Yep me too ana .....wonder why we do that....anyone know....*jeni*??????

Google 'synaesthesia'....that is what the condition is called. I have it too, although I 'taste' in colour. smile

jeni Sun 12-Aug-12 14:46:11

The only day I 'feel'for is Friday! I don't work on Fridays.
It is quite a common phenomenon and lucid is right!

grrrranny Sun 12-Aug-12 14:53:36

lucid taste in colour as well - I feel miffed that I don't have this colour related sense. So are certain foods connected to a colour more than just their actual colour?

Littlenellie Sun 12-Aug-12 15:01:01

Have just googled synaeathsia ...and yep thats me...also hear music in colour,and numbers.....just thought every one did.....grin

my son has always seen days I n colours, he only told me recently, we never knew when he was a child

Anagram Sun 12-Aug-12 15:10:01

Yes, you just don't think about it when you're a child - it's normal for you! And as nellie says, you assume everyone does it. (Oh yes, numbers too, nellie!)

grrranny .....marshmallow (including the pink ones) taste white. Toast is a sort of orange colour. Anything bitter or sour generally tastes green. Spicy food is gold or red. The actual colour of the food doesn't relate to the taste colour.

grrrranny Sun 12-Aug-12 15:29:18

Wow - how much more interesting it must be if foods, names, music, days etc have colours and this is just a natural thing. Although if you are born with it I suppose it wouldn't seem unusual.

My days of the week are Monday red, Tuesday blue, Wednesday green, Thursday pink, Friday olive green, Saturday pale yellow, Sunday darker yellow. The months of the year are on a clock face with July and August on the bottom. It has been like that ever since I can remember.

AlieOxon Sun 12-Aug-12 19:17:13

When I read printed words I can hear them as well. I only realised this last year.
Is this also synaesthesia?

grrrranny Sun 12-Aug-12 19:56:55

So we all think we perceive things in a similar way - but we really don't. We may speak, or write, about what we think are shared experiences but my Monday just has a feeling, no colour, I don't hear Monday when I read it, liver and onions is only kind of brown for me, and the months of the year, not only don't have a colour, but are not on a clock face although it makes real sense that they are. Amazing to me these revelations envy

Anagram Sun 12-Aug-12 19:59:19

Not on a clock face for me either, but a sort of list which goes from right to left - same for the days of the week.

Littlenellie Sun 12-Aug-12 20:33:17

alie I hear the written word it is though I am reading aloud in my head....dosent every one?..hmm

grrrranny Sun 12-Aug-12 20:36:24

No - it's silent in my head when I read. If you read a novel do you hear different voices for different characters?

Littlenellie Sun 12-Aug-12 20:41:01

Yes...and see their faces...but isn't that a vivid imagination.?...

jeni Sun 12-Aug-12 20:52:23

I do the same!

grrrranny Sun 12-Aug-12 20:53:44

I can see faces-ish but voices would make for your own, private play or performance. At least I don't think I hear but haven't really considered it. No, fairly sure that if I did, I'd know. I feel cheated sad envy

Anagram Sun 12-Aug-12 21:06:08

I'm the same as nellie and jeni, and in fact I 'see' the faces of all the posters on GN and am rather put out when I see their photos (if they've posted one) because it doesn't usually tally with my imaginary view of them!
