Smiles 282:365

I'm in survival mode. 

Today my 'weapon of choice' is a raging waterfall, a fluttering flag and  a rainbow.

And a (rather weak but still there) smile.

After today, I needed a mountain! So I went and found one and it worked - it made me smile!

So I found another...

and another, this time with a lake too.

And then I had to stop because, although I was still smiling, it made me cry. 

Life's like that sometimes.

This morning we hopped into a Mini Cooper and popped off to Kreuzlingen with plans! And many smiles ensued. 

First off a trip onto Bodensee on a pedalo - such fun! Pedaloes have come on since I was a kid with comfy deck chair seats and far more room! We even got a sunshade!

The trip was made even better by meeting two families of ducks. So sweet - they swam over to say hello, stared at Jude and followed us for quite a while!

After a wonderful hour 'pedalo-ing', our next plan kicked in - reclaiming tax from shops. About 60 euros worth today! I like walking into shops and they give you money!

And then lunch at Maximillians and home to change before a visit to Buchberg with the Pickups. An incident filled trip featuring close encounters with greenery in Flach, various playground japes, a beautiful sunset and a bus with an identity crisis as well as delicious food and great company! 

So many smiles - and glorious sunshine too! What more could I want?
