I thought of you this morning and I can’t get this song out of my head now! It’s doing my head in 🙂
Oh well, sing altogether now:
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleighbells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things…
Mama JunkYard Says: That song gets in your head…though half the things they mention hardly count as my favourite things…ati cream coloured ponies? wild geese?
@MJY, I see we have quite a few favourites in common, Six feet under, 24, love mixed peppers, hate beetroot. You are not starting us up on writing our favourites now, are you?

Mama JunkYard Says: Any time you want to come oop norf and watch DVDs just email me.
I also live peppers, esp green ones (“pili pili hoho” we called them) and potatoes are just genius pekee the way they transform themselves into chibbos and when baked in their skin they get tamu kabisa. I love mochas woi woi lakini that cream gives someone moustache ndevu.
