Sunshine Challenge Post #3

Three things which are yellow:
1. A sweatshirt and a duvet cover
While I like yellow, I don't own much of that colour. However, I have a yellow sweatshirt featuring Winnie-the-Pooh, which says 'I wish there was another day between Saturday and Sunday'. And the duvet cover I bought last winter is yellow, with white rabbits on it. Because all the green duvets (which would have gone with the walls and curtains) were boring and the yellow goes perfectly well.
2. Sunshine
Now, I know technically sunshine doesn't have a colour, but traditionally the sun is painted yellow. And sunshine generally means an uplift in the mood, so it's a distinct plus. Although, as a true Brit, I am also capable of saying 'It's too hot!'
3. Daffodils
Bright yellow and a confirmation that it's spring. So another feel good sign after a long, cold(ish) and grey winter.
Fanfics I've written with yellow:
Mary's Little Secret an updated version of ACD's The Yellow Face for BBC Sherlock, written pre-series 4
Wordsworth an ACD Retirement era ficlet, in which daffodils play a part
The Casebook of Tigger Holmes which includes Pooh Bear as one of the Watsons, (the other is Eeyore) in homage to David Burke and Edward Hardwicke in the Granada TV series
