We recorded the RSI coverage of Tour of Romandie last night and this evening we watched it back to see if we could spot ourselves.
What a great game! There were many sightings but mostly so fast that you blink and miss it. And the pause button on the TV wasn't always very good at pausing the screen in focus...
Still... below you have some evidence.

Chris Froome on his way to 3rd place in the TimeTrial and an overall win - and I'm below the Arrivée caption in the silly sunglasses (freebies!)

As Rui Costa powers to 3rd overall, you can see Jude (yellow cap) and me (white cap) yelling - in a blur! The black blur is Isaac!

Here you can see Richie Porte about to finish - you can clearly see John by the red elephant (top left) and the peak of my white cap to his right.

And here you can see Jude (yellow cap under Arrivée) looking bemused and me (face split in half by a pole) looking thunderous as I'd just yelled in Spanish at Tom Danielson as I was reliably informed by my husband that "Valverde is the next rider!'

Other smiles today came from Zumba (see the end of the post for more Zumba related smiles), rescuing a friend in need in Lidl and being amused by the ability of non-events to be blown out of all proportion!

Continuing with French, another way to make people smile is get them to say Pepsi!

Cheap accommodation in Geneva - only 9CHF/day for this compact bijoux living space as modelled by Jude!

Modelling Tour de Romandie goodies - I've eaten the cheese and drunk the Chicco d'oro coffee!

Chris Froome won the Tour of Romandie, and my family disowned me as I shouted so loudly for all the Sky riders. I can shout very loudly, it's true; however this sounded louder than usual thanks to the lack of anyone else shouting encouragement at all! If you're watching the highlights, I'm at 200m to go by the red Raiffesen pig!

A lovely family day out with lots of fun and laughter!

In French you can also just say Souriez! which means smile.

Isaac decided that the melon and cucumber looked like an orb and sceptre so Jude took it one step further and donned a helmet!
My boys make me laugh!

Those who know me well know that I am very partial to dungarees and always have been. So when i saw this article in 20Minuten I felt I had to share. And then I was sent a link to an article in The Guardian by someone who has known me for over 20 years and has always been very amused by my love of the 'overalls' as they call them in America! Long or short, dungarees are utterly wonderful and I don't care if they're in fashion or not - I like them!

One way of getting people to smile for a photo in French is to say Ouisitii! which means marmoset

Two pictures today as I couldn't decide which to use - and I am allowed to smile more than once!

On the tram in Zürich today we smiled when we saw this gentleman approaching, complete with pith helmet and proper jodhpurs. Looked rather smart but somewhat unusual!

And then Jude spotted the product below in Globus. It makes it funnier that they're nuts!

Funny things I heard today 

As part of a family board games tournament, I was playing Jude at Battleships.

John (my husband) was sitting next to Jude (my son) and said "I'll be the independent adjudicator."

My elder son Isaac immediately responded "Ok, I'll be the independent ad-Lisa-cator then."

In French - un sourire
