Orange is often said to symbolise courage and creativity

It is uplifting...

It stimulates the appetite, social interaction and even the metabolism

It refers to positivity, energy and warmth

It is a vital colour in the food chain, Vit A, Vit C and so on


Orange is a wonderful colour *Bob*, it even cheered up Rothko for a while

Can lead to controversy in Norn Iron though Charlies.

And of course would be derided by those who had experienced poor service from the portable 'phone company of the same name.

Pondering the former I found myself in a state of some melancholy. I wandered hither and yon, deep in thought and with no mind to any destination. My revery was pulled up short by the sound of amplified music.

I found myself quite by chance and likely as not having passed every other bar on Lordship Lane, outside the Vale.

I can't say that some mystical force had drawn me there. I can't say it hadn't either.

I entered the bar and for some reason and don't ask me why because I'd never even heard of it before, ordered an orange 'juice'.

As the barkeep poured the bright libation I swear I saw a wink of Florida sun spring forth.

Raising the glass to my gorgeous pouting lips, I took a deep draught.


It was OK I suppose, nothing to write home to my cousins about though.

On the other hand it made me feel better about the colour orange.

But the main thing is I'll never go anywhere else from now on but the Vale, for pretty much all my meals and any liquids I might require (unfortunately they're not open for breakfast, I feel a petition coming on!!!).


From now on my motto is 'When life seems of no avail, go to the Vale, there's vail to spare'.

????' date=' just in case you thought I wasn't being serious about orange... thought i better put the record straight, [b']I was[/b]... Colour theory is a fascinating subject and very few people are aware of the direct impact colour has on physical and mental well being...


the human eye can detect over 10 million colours, and each colour has a different impact (I could expand on some to the scientific research that has been done in this area but...)


Interestingly, the brian has no capacity for accurately recording or remebering colour, so keep looking and keep enjoying

    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd. 
    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December. 
    • Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
    • Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights.  It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them.  Thank you for them.  I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
