February 18th is always going to be a tricky day. But memories bring smiles as well as tears. Eating liquorice, steamed puddings for tea, yelling some choice phrases and stomping up the stairs to pretend-steal a cuddly dog all made us smile, as did our decision to stop short of causing ourselves injury just do we could apply the obligatory steri-strips that would so often be required after a "little mishap". 

Barcelona beat Man City watched by BBB (that'd meet with approval) and the Winter Olympics was spectacular. 

Couldn't find any yellow roses today but I have tulips and pictures. 

Love you higher than the sky Daddy x

Smiles 269:365

Today I have smiled as two friends updated me on their lives post-ISW.

I smiled at the enthusiasm of Y3 to "play with" 2D shapes and write stories in my Spanish lesson.

I smiled when I found that I did have enough Spanish books after all - hurrah!

And I had to smile at the inability of some kids to talk 'quietly'; it seems that some just don't have a 'little voice' or a volume control.

Biggest smile? Looking out of Isaac's window and seeing that my very special rose bush, that has lasted nearly 2 years without me looking after it and looks in need of some TLC, has a yellow rose on it. Love you Dad x
