Smiles 3:365

My husband John bought me some red tulips. That made me smile broadly.

Things I heard today that made me smile
John referring to Isaac (our 14 year old son) as 'a man boy thing'.

Smiles 2:366

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."

Smile in other languages

Smiles 1:365

Sparklers in the park with my family. That's a big smile to start the year!

And for our first 'Smile in another language' is German - Lächeln.

Welcome to Smiles365

Welcome to Smiles365, my new 365 project for 2013.

This year I will be posting a picture a day on the theme of smiles. It might be someone or something smiling, something that makes me smile or even something that looks like a smile. Sometimes it's easy to focus on what's wrong in life so I'm setting out this year to look for the good in life and share it. Hopefully it'll make you smile too!

And, because languages are my thing and I like to learn, each day I'll post the word smile in a different language. I wonder if I'll manage 365 different languages though...?
The image above is from a T-shirt I found that might give me a few ideas!

The first post won't be until January 1st but whilst you wait, why not have a look at my past projects -

2012 - TipTopSwiss366
2011 - Window on my World365
2010 - Trees365

Thank you to Tony for the idea, and to Nicky for the language element.
