I can't believe it! It's True Colours Thursday again, and today our colour is yellow - I've even given my header picture a hint of yellow!
This first pickie I took in the pub on Monday. It's a box of little yellow daffodils which you can wear if you make a contribution to Marie Curie Cancer Care. I'm wearing mine now - the daffodil that is, not the box!
Now I know you are excited. I promised to unveil the painting Giggles did of me in today's yellow post. Well I haven't forgotten but you will have to wait while I show you my other yellow efforts. NO PEEPING!!
Oh, this was funny. I saw a police car and I thought 'look, yellow'. I took a quick pic of it and then suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder (no, not water tap!). I turned round and at first I saw no-one. As you know I'm quite tall and when I peered down I saw a little policeman! They say that policemen get younger every year, but this one looked like a boy going to a fancy dress party! He was so sweet I felt like patting him on the head and tickling him under his chubby dimpled chin. Anyway he wanted to know why I was taking a photo of his little car. I supposed I did look a bit like a terrorist, after all I did have my sunglasses on and the collar of my coat turned up. Once I'd explained why I took it he seemed alright about it, but he did suggest I don't make a habit of taking pictures of cop-cars again!
Last week Keith did an article about Eastbourne seafront. He took a picture of the yellow trucks on the beach shifting the shingle in readiness for summer. His picture was DREADFUL! So I took this one to show him how it's done.
Roll of drums - fanfare - tug on the rope to drop the curtain, and here it is. Giggles picture of me. Cool eh? I'll be using it instead of my photo which I hate. You must drop by her blog by the way. It's a great place to visit, and certainly the most colourful one you are likely to come across.
That's it for this Thursday. Next week it going to be violet. Now that is going to need a bit of thinking about.

Love the painting. Glad you didn't get tossed in jail for taking a pic of the police car. Nice selection of yellows.
ReplyDeleteFun post Rosie,
ReplyDeleteGlad you have not been arrested...lol
The painting looks very cute well worth the wait.
The painting turned out so well! Giggles has terrific ideas - but so do you. A pair to draw to, as they say. Nice!!
ReplyDeleteRoSEY!! it's like seeing u for the first time! Giggles creativity has captured the essence of your magic!
ReplyDeleteLove your yellows too! oooh and Your yellow skirt!
Nice yellows, Rosie. Really love that picture of you! Sunshine & I once tried to make some daffodils from a kit, but you'll notice there are no pictures of them....maybe we'll try again sometime.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm glad you didn't get arrested for the police car pic.
I love your anecdote about the police car--sounds like something that would happen to me. We innocents are so often misunderstood!
ReplyDeleteLove the painting of you as well! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog :)
