Activity 1.8

Write for 5 minutes solidly starting your first sentence with 'Blue makes me think of...'
You can write a list or a train of thought.

Blue makes me think of the colour the sky should be right now. It was Blue yesterday, a really pale Blue with a glorious hot sun lodged up there. I didn't see a great deal of the Blue due to being in the office all day. Today's colour is unfortunately Grey. Although according to the weather report we should be due a bit of Blue. And loads of Blue tomorrow.Blue is the colour of my notepad, THIS VERY PAD. It has swirls of different colours on it but it is mainly Blue. When I should be doing work in it it pokes out from where it lies under the bed, an accusing sliver of Blue. "You should be writing in me", it says. "Put down that magazine, don't think about the washing, stop procrastinating!"Looking around me there's not much Blue to be had. The sky is the aforementioned grey. Most other things are green. There's a pair of blue pants on the line. They're mine. Blue's not really my colour so there's nothing else. My school uniform used to be blue. Navy. Maybe five years of blue polyester has put me off!
