Other things that made me smile today

Finding out that I'd managed to do two 101:365 posts and two 102:365 posts which explained why other 365 bloggers were on 106 yesterday when I wasn't!
Fun at my English class when I decided to teach prepositions by hiding a cuddly lizard.
More sitting in the sunshine reading a book.
