Today is not my favourite day of the year and started worse than normal with John being away and terrible news.
However, the day definitely improved in the afternoon. My cousin's daughter Belle had her first communion and it was a great excuse to get together with some of my extended family. As usual, we ended up laughing a lot. Just what I needed. And Belle looked beautiful!

Park Run once more.

I may have broken my PB if I hadn't ended up heaving in the last 200m.

And I do need to get nearer the front at the start as my Garmin time was 11 seconds faster than my actual time!

However, I did it in well under 28 minutes and it was the fastest I've run since I was ill/hurt my ankle so I will stop whinging ;)

A run - no stopping and no panicking.

Sports Day - even if Rowan came 4th, we were the loudest! 

A new running vest. 

And Jude is now a member of Birmingham Schools Brass Band :)

I love the fact that people find and send me smiles, and Kathy and Colin must be my most dedicated suppliers! Today we have a smiley wall...

And a smiley guitar! He's a very cheerful chappy! 

And my biggest smile of the day was actually caused by a truly thunderous look given to me by a young lady in Y2 at the end of the day because I had not been in her class this morning as usual. "But WHY?" she demanded!

It's nice to be missed!

Lots of things made me smile today including discussing languages with Isaac who was working as my dictionary and grammar sidekick as I planned resources.

Enjoying a cup of tea in the sunshine with a certain small monkey also amused me. 

Cabaret rehearsal.

And then the sunset was gorgeous. I had to stop the car to take a photograph!

I'm Lots of smiles today in London as I was speaking at a conference. Loved this sign on the last landing of the stairs before you arrived at the top floor. 

And thanks to Sylvie and Janet, there are lots of photos if me in full flow - presenting and sketch noting! 

Very tired now but what fun!
