This sculpture always makes me smile, simply because I cannot do handstands. I'm not sure I've ever done them very well, and I've certainly never managed a cartwheel. I used to joke that I was an expert at trolley wheels (starts as a cartwheel then turns into a sideways bunny hop!)

Still, you can't be good at everything ;)

Thanks to my Secret Santa for my gift - disappointed it wasn't lilac lacy lingerie but you went with S for Stevens rather than L for Lisa so that's ok, and I do like spotty scarves. 

And for the second day running I was tasked with a year 3 class and glitter... I thought yesterday was carnage but this was something else. I was still dusting it out of my hair at bathtime!

I always smile when I see this quirky bench in Winterthur by the Bibliothek. It's usually covered with children climbing on the animal heads, or sliding down the snake. Looks like it's been given a new lick of paint!

And do you know what else made me smile? I went for a run! After a week of exhaustion (first time I've worked a whole week in years!) and a very sore back caused by sitting on Liliputian chairs, I needed that!

There are many lovely decorative engravings and statues along Obertor and Untertor in Winterthur. This one above Migros always makes me smile when I look up to see a topless woman with what looks like a tarpaulin on her head, and a chicken sitting on top of that. Why? I'm sure there's a story, just haven't discovered it yet!

And this bonus photograph of the evening sky is Jude's choice. He noticed it first and commented how much he liked the colour.

Things I heard that made me smile
Having made a faux pas myself by thinking that Example was called Exhibit (and that he sang Read all about it with Emile Sande), Jude then added to the smiles by telling me that I meant Professor Green whose real name is Peter Mandelson... (It's actually Stephen Manderson)
