Do you people who live anywhere other than Australia have little ice cream trucks that drive around your suburban streets, like the one above? I have fond childhood memories of hearing the music coming down the street and beseeching my mother, with plaintive hungered cries, for some money so I could get an ice cream.
I have one of those vans in my area. He has just started driving around the streets again now the weather is warming up and eating ice cream is not something you do while shivering under a blanket (well, at least that's how my winter goes).
I find myself singing Dire Straits for six months of the year. It is a good thing I love them, because the music that plays like the Pied Piper to lure all the young kids out (and not so young) is the music that plays at the beginning of Tunnel of Love. I don't know what it is, apparently some French traditional hurdy gurdy carnival music. It's really cute. Which is really good, 'cause from now on, it's gonna be playing on high rotation on Radio Susie :)
