52 weeks of happy (9?)

Orla jumps
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!

52 weeks happy 10

Clockwise from top left:
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??

    You are so gorgeous! I'm going to have to try that jumping trick. Sometimes I just have to tell myself something silly so I'll have a natural smile. It's not easy being a superstar!

  7. Sounds like a very happy week. I'm envious of you being out in little dresses and tights, no coat - it's still pretty darn cold up here!

    What makes me happy is having a phone call from my granddaughter Kaitlyn who is 3. She loves chatting like her Auntie Kezzie.
