Of course, over here (most of the UK) we don't make as big a thing of St 
Patrick's Day as you do. So going by the Catholic schedule, we should now be 
in Porphyrian purple. Unless you follow the Sarum (Salisbury) tradition, as 
the local parish church here does, using blue for penitential periods. 

I'm about to have my own colour crisis as I'm going to have our bedroom done.
I'm afraid I've indulged in co-ordinated bedcovers and curtains (isn't that 
naff?) and I can't decide what colour to do the walls.

But I've got loads of old curtains, Cindy....

Wondering if we shouldn't ask Porphyria to perfume the FAQ office with a 
virtual smell of the month.
And very miffed indeed, because she should be at Oxford Circus with Ali and 
Catherine in 3 minutes' time and can't be because she's got a sick child.
