The word for 04.01.2010 is YELLOW (I day late uploading)

Today's word is YELLOW. Within two mins of leaving the flat, we came apon a yellow football but that was too easy for me. So l decided to carry on looking, as we were going out for some time. We walked to Putney the normal way, then on the way back we wiggled and wound our way pass all the big gorgeous houses and some council houses and so took our time. Saw some roads we hadn't been up before aand many building we had not seen before either. Living in London is still an adventure to us.
Anyway on the way back we saw quite a few yellow objects but the one l decided on was on the pavement and l spotted it from quite away away. The yellow packet was sitting on top of crisp brown leaves and snow all round.
