Hello amigos! How are you? Happy and spring-like I do hope!
1. I am feeling very positive, it really does feel, at for the last two days, like it's really becoming Spring! Sun in the sky, clear skies, I couldn't believe that I was able to wear a dress today with just leggings and a coat over the top and felt comfortable, not cold in the slightest- that's something definite to feel happy about!
When I came out into the garden to take these photos, I couldn't resist the temptation to jump about! CBC thinks I am totally silly when I take photos of me jumping but part of me loves the challenge of trying to catch a jump on the timer and seeing how high I can go! It's a childish challenge game really! I did try to do a jete though, for another shot and that hurt without warm-up, so better not to be too exuberant!!!
(Wearing my Orla Keilly Peter-pan collar dress- tres comfy with Primark leggings and sand-beret and turquoise Toms!)
The day was good- I ended up watching the woodwind quintet from the music service twice with my two classes as they came in to give a recital to the KS1 and KS2 classes I took! The morning was spent with Year 3 who created their own lovely arrangements of 'Jelly on the plate' in 4-part harmony on the recorders! It really was nice!

2. Buying fresh eggs from my double-bass playing friend at orchestra last night- she lives on a small-holding now and sells all manner of fresh and organic products- these eggs were HUGE!!!!
3. On Saturday, we went out in town and considering I was at a Gamelan rehearsal all day and I had gone to CBC's in a cricket jumper, sheepskin boots and red chinos (the turquoise cardie was from the previous night), this was not suitable. Thus, I just had to nip into Primarni on my way home to find something to wear in a hurry- I ended up with this pretty lace dress, black tights and nude ballet pumps and CBC thought it was a good idea, didn't tell me off! That made me happy! I've kind of liked the idea of a lace-dress in a light colour for a long while now! That also made me happy!
4. Gorgeous birthday present from my deputy-head at school- she's missed her vocation as a personal shopper- how perfect is this White rabbit from Alice in Wonderland necklace?!?!
5. More gamelan rehearsals to look forward to, and I can practice at home- I should really sweep the dust off my Pemade!!!!
6. During the break, we wandered down Whitecross street and saw these hoardings covering up building work! What a good idea, painting cute animals on them to make it look pretty rather then derelict! They made me happy!
7. During the night out in town- a quite pub in which I could actually hear what was being said rather than lip-reading and smiling and nodding whilst not having a clue! They had bar billiards in this particular one! I'd not heard of that until Heston made an edible version of it!
What's making you happy??
