Jane Mackay wrote: “My sister is a synaesthete. Though not knowing about synaesthesia at the time, we remember that as very young children we used to argue about the colours of our days of the week, hers being quite different from mine. For example, her Wednesday was a murky green and mine was lemon yellow. Her colours used to get 'shinier' and more vivid as she approached the weekend days. I saw colours and patterns for my days e.g. Friday was, and still is, black and white squares. I don't remember my sister ever talking about patterned days. We both see numbers as coloured too, and months of the year, but I don't think my sister sees music, as I do.”
