This week I'll be mostly wearing purple

Ooh, suit you sir!

I was in a meeting this morning and it was pointed out to me that I - along with the colleague sitting next to me - was wearing a purple shirt and tie. Suspiciously, the last time I'd been in a meeting for that same project it had also been pointed out that I was wearing purple.

Nothing particularly odd about that, but once it had been pointed out I started seeing purple everywhere:

• Another colleague turned up late to the meeting, and he too was wearing a purple shirt.
• During the day I noticed at least two other purple shirt wearers.
• When I got home and checked my wardrobe, I had no less than three shirts vaguely in the spectrum of colours that one might consider purple, all of which I have worn or intend to wear this week.

But don't worry, it's not like I've got a drawer full of purple socks or anything. At least I don't think I have. Maybe I should check.

Now, if I team up with David Icke (purple tracksuit wearer extraordinaire) and embark on a key-note speech tour insisting that the royal family are in fact reptiles from the planet Draco - that's when you should start worrying.
