Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy, being rather silly, and porridge oats.
Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats
18-wheeler Scammels, Domenecker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats
A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 - no electric shocks
The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing smallpox
Reasons to be cheerful part 3
Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses
round or skinny bottoms
Take your mum to paris
lighting up the chalice
wee willy harris
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico
Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
balabalabala and Volare
Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey
John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

Reveling in the moment.
Living life on purpose.
Listening to my heart.
Looking at life with the experience of a 40+ year old
but the eyes of a 4 year old.
Not being afraid to take risks.
Aligning my words and my actions with my beliefs.
Going on adventures with dear friends.

The fact that, if I get back from town on Saturday before 5, I can watch Charmed and Buffy reruns, and then new Doctor Who, with enough time to watch either a movie or two or three episodes of a tv show on DVD before Law & Order is on...
...I am such a nerd.

Bright red hair after a winter drought of boring brunette.
Breakfast in bed of smoked salmon and cream cheese followed by chocolate mousse cake.
The pile of warm, sleepy cats dozing in the sunlight on the flat roof outside my window.
The satisfaction that comes with figuring something out after a while of struggling, and just before the point where you give in and ask for help.
Sunny days and living 5 minutes walk from a fantastic park with a great view.
Having a job that's challenging, exciting, fulfilling and which makes a difference - and not feeling like a total fake when doing it.
More cake in the fridge.

Humming "Sink My Boats". Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. The Three Stooges. Cosgrove Hall's "The Wind in the Willows". Danger Mouse. Count Duckula. Burlesque Queens pin-ups. Remebering that I missed having breakfast with HRH Ian in Hammersmith. Pin-ups from the 1960's Playboy magazines. Reading newspapers in the main Los Angeles Library from the 1930's. Danger Man. Secret Agent Man. The Prisoner. Trying to play "O! Susanna" on the ukulele like Taj Mahal. Thelonious Monk. And, learning Everything! I needed to know about women after singing "If I Was With a Woman".
