My father was from India and I remember elegant ladies in Saris and liking the orange ones best. I once had a pair of orange flares (early seventies) that I wore until they disintegrated, and one night when my son was tiny I couldn't get him to settle, he was fine when I was with him, but would scream his head off as soon as I left the room. Eventually, as an experiment, I took off my shirt and gave it to him. He fell asleep clutching it and didn't let it out of his sight for months, until all he had left of it was a tiny fragment. That shirt was pale orange. <br /><br />I wonder why other people are also talking orange, though, I'll have to check it out.<br /><br />Hope ~ you are kind. I hope you never have to endure <i>even</i> dental surgery in the future.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-78507000719336541032010-01-23T20:03:02.189+00:002010-01-23T20:03:02.189+00:00Just popping in to check on you.

I find it kind of cool when that happens, like the writing has a mind of its own. <br /><br />The orange has been ubiquitous lately - yours is not the only post that's mentioned something oddly orange in the past few days.

The wind tunnel didn't recur, but orange did: there was an orange light around Santa, and the lighting in the trams was also orange. <br /><br />I like 'optatide' it sounds like a word T S Eliot would use.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-26528563197156365142010-01-22T17:29:41.588+00:002010-01-22T17:29:41.588+00:00Bubble bath, hand wash and chocolates - Santa know...Bubble bath, hand wash and chocolates - Santa knows what a woman wants!<br /><br />I'm very curious about the orange wind tunnel.
