Yellow and red things

[vilakins]

I commented on two posts and was given colours. It's taken so long because it was really hard to think of things I like since I wear neither colour. :-P

Comment and ask for a colour if you want one, then post listing 10 items you like in that colour.

linda_joyce gave me yellow, and vjezkova gave me red.

These are in the order I thought of them, not preference.

10 yellow things I like

1. kowhai (see above)
   
2. lemons; they add so much flavour to cooking or squeezed over fish
   
3. butter on hot crumpets, toast, or potatoes
   
4. sweetcorn on the cob, also with butter and a little salt
   
5. Jasmin's golden eyes
   
6. my glowy planet (striated Himalayan crystal salt with a light bulb inside)
   
7. my yellow lucky cat
   
8. yellow cars (so rare these days)
   
9. yellow pencils (the essence of pencilness)
   
10. buttercups

10 red things I like

1. pohutukawa blossoms (see above)
   
2. red roses
   
3. sunsets (we get some great views from the top of the hill here)
   
4. our espresso machine
   
5. the camellias that bloom in the garden in winter
   
6. red cars (also rare these days)
   
7. red wine
   
8. chillis (or chilis)
   
9. my red Dalek despite a surfeit of them on TV
   
10. Cally's outfit in Killer

Mmm lemon. And, hee, yellow cars. :) I'm fond of the sun too, which is rather yellowish.

I love that you still managed to get a B7 reference in with the reds. I agree about her Killer outfit though. It's definitely her best one.

BTW, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. I suck a lot, apologies. :( *hugs*

If you want to give me a color, I'll try this.

I read recently (on an astronomy site) that the sun is actually white but people perceive it as yellow because of the atmosphere. I see the Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun) agrees. I would listed it a year ago though. :-)

Vila wore something yellow but I didn't like it that much. Cally's outfit is lovely though; such a pity it appeared in one ep, and one she was hardly in.

That's OK! I get those birthday notifications about three days early because of time zones (me being a day ahead) and sometimes forget in the meantime. :-P

Oooookay, purple! :-) [uses a purple icon]

I was sure you will mention pohutukawa:-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I had to: they're lovely and happy-making (except when they fall on my car and stick to it). They're in this icon too. :-)

Don't know kowhai, don't know pohutukawa, but I love the names :) I'll take a color, but it will take me a while to come up with 10 things too. I have a 3 color wardrobe.

Pohutukawa are on trees like the one in this icon (from one of my drawings), which bloom in early summer around Christmas so they're known as the NZ Christmas tree. :-) Kowhai bloom in spring so that was my spring icon there.

I don't know which three colours those are, but have... grey!

[elmey.livejournal.com]

That's one of the colors :) Going off to think now.

#3 and 4 on your yellow list made me hungry and #5 made me smile. #1 made me curious and I learned something new (very beautiful, too)! :o) I love #1 on your red list.

I suppose I should have linked to something about the flowers.

That's a cute icon. Is that a little hyena?

[elmey.livejournal.com]

I did it! Ten Grey Things (http://elmey.livejournal.com/28119.html)

It was easy to look it up. :o)
Thanks - it was made by magic_art. I think he's a hyena cub, but not entirely certain.
