Smiles 110:365


It's snowing! Absolutely bizarre  weather!

John took these photographs this morning. Plucky little flowers peeking through the snow made me smile. Hope they don't get too cold and die. 

Zumba rehearsal this morning, TeachMeet International this afternoon and the ISW Spring Benefit this evening - plenty to smile about!



Say cheese in other languages
In Taiwan, people say  (qī) - seven in Mandarin to get a smile!

Smiles 109:365

I was looking through iPhoto and found this photo of this time last year when I was running the Dubendorflauf around a military airfield. That's me in pink under the wing of the Tante Ju! Arty isn't it?

Other things that made me smile today
Playing Where's the lizard? with M and M who devised increasingly ridiculous hiding places - but their knowledge of prepositions has improved!
HIGNFY used the photo of the fieldmouse I posted yesterday for their caption competition - suggestion was 'Celebrate Spring by tickling your bum with pollen'
Bake Sale after school on a rainy day.

Say cheese in other languages
In China, people say 茄子 (qiézi) - eggplant in Mandarin.

I flew to England today :0)

De-icing the plane prior to take off amused me, especially when the man sprayed the wings with green gunk. And he saw me smiling and winked!

Afternoon tea in M&S was another "huge smile" event, especially as it cost me 10p thanks to reward vouchers.

And Annalise's 'pint of chips' was just one of the many smiles this evening as I squealed and hugged my lovely lovely MFL friends, old and new, in Cenos over Crabbies and fish and chips!!!
