Playing an Egyptian university student made me smile today. A very mature one although I did feel rather young looking at the congregation...

Loved looking up at the huge round stained glass window at St Peters too. And the children's pew bags are a brilliant idea. 

Then this evening Jude thought that Laurence Llewelyn Bowen was Laurence Olivier. That amused me!

And he also "obtained luxury balls." That made us all titter!

I have a new downstairs toilet. After 10 days without it, I'm very happy. And after years of saying "the downstairs toilet needs replacing" I'm also very pleased we've finally got around to getting it done. 

A fun day for World Book Day at WCPS although I did get a little tired of being asked if I was Cinderella, Dorothy or Little Red Riding Hood when I was in fact Heidi. Fun to keep re telling her story and telling "Höppla!"

A beautiful sunrise after a better sleep than I've had for several days. 

Good afternoon with year 3, all fighting to be in my Spanish story even if it meant wearing a silly hat or mask. And it was someone's birthday so I got chocolate cake!! Year 6 were noisy but there were some good shapes 'busted' in our HipHopPhonics (thanks Nina!)

Time for sleep now. That's worth a big smile!

My pancakes obviously didn't look like these hence I didn't bother taking a photograph! They were however delicious.

We had a meeting about Isaac's German exchange this evening - that made me smile as Herr Götschel is a very amusing man!

And I got home in time to have a run before it got dark. Whoop!

A (relative) lie in and leisurely start to the day as I was on a course. 

The bunting in Western Arcade made me smile - very cheerful. I shouldn't have been walking that way but my sense of direction once more let me down! Oh well! 

The course was brilliant - as expected ;) - great to see Clare too. 

And although the day ended with lots of to-ing and fro-ing, I was smiling as Jude's parents' evening only confirmed what we already knew - he's a funny clever happy chap :)

It's the little things that make me smile, like Jude dancing or Isaac head butting a wall as he laughed at Jude dancing. Or singing Titanium in silly voices, or Jude's face as he saw the digestive advertisements with the kittens for the first time and his squealing as he saw the puppy version.

And I love our new wardrobe 'door' - so much better than the old ones that didn't fit when we moved in and fitted even less well 12 years later. And so much quieter to open.

Spring has sprung. Let's hope it sticks around as I personally like the sunshine!

To escape the paint fumes, Isaac wrapped up in several jumpers and a hat and sat by the open back door. He then tried to watch TV from the garden but was thwarted by being unable to undo the window as there was no key and he couldn't hear. So he came in and sat on the window sill next to the other window that would open!

The ongoing adventures of Harold, Maude and friends recounted by Bev (who is stuck in hospital bless her) continue to amuse me, as did a discussion about how it would be do much better to be in hospital of your doctors were JD and Turk from Scrubs! 

Liverpool won and are now 2nd in the Premier League. 

The Fulham manager's glasses are rather amusing too.
