It’s a grey and rainy day here over Casa Lime Lane today. A perfect day curled up on the couch and watching movies and catching up on what the internet has to offer this week. Can I recommend you start here:

{tuesday’s top 5} rainy day tunes

Inspired by the weather again today. The greyness of the other day has stuck around in the form of some serious rain clouds. It is wet. They are predicting more than 100 millimetres in some parts of the state. So what’s a girl to do? Make a list, of course. The top 5 songs about rain that pop into your head. {It’s surprisingly easy!}

  1. Singing in the Rain ~ a classic and obvious inclusion
  2. Raindrops keep falling on my head ~ by BJ Thomas and from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
  3. Summer Rain ~ The ’90s hit by Belinda Carlisle, coincidentally touring Australia right now!
  4. November Rain ~ Another ’90s classic is this  epic Guns ‘n’ Roses tune
  5. Set Fire to the Rain ~ jump into the modern-day era with  a fantastic live rendition of this Adele hit

Do you have a favourite rainy day song?

 

{tuesday’s top 5} tra la lala laaa ~ not your average carols

I can’t help it. I’m feeling festive. Soon we will be cranking out the carols at full blast.

Jingle Bell Rock by The Muppets. Enough said.

Walking in the Air from The Snowman. Every year we pop this DVD on, it’s a Christmas favourite with the smalls, and I love this beautiful song from it. It makes me think Christmas.

Last year’s absolute favourite. Some people are so talented. Thanks iTunes for the reminder.

Some festive reggae. Boney M and Mary’s Boy Child.

I’ve never really gotten into Glee but I do enjoy stumbling across it and listening to the music. And this, I’ll admit it, brings a tear to me sentimental eye.

What’s your favourite Christmassy type song? Traditional or not.

paper trail: crayons

Last night I read that only 1 per cent of Americans don’t know what Crayola is, such is their recognition with the humble crayon. I love crayons and still have my 72-crayon drawing set still in it’s original box. The thing about crayons, they never go out of style.

  1. Slip on crayon ring from Timothy Liles
  2. Fortune cookie crayons from Chase Dreams
  3. Set of Lego crayons from Jugie Bee
  4. Edible crayons at Luxirare
  5. Rich colour crayons at Assist On
