I am a novice and so it took a long time, but, I think I have finished editing the soundtrack for my class' entry in the school talent show. 'Happy' and 'I love my shirt'. And relax.

Day 49
15 July
Things children say...
Ok, so this is a blatant bid to turn around my day and make it my ‪#‎100happydays‬ entry - if these stories make any of you happy in my anguish, that will work for me.
Two children were not all that tactful today.
Child 1 - in a voice full of shock and surprise, and a tad of concern: Mrs Harper what are you doing? How are you doing that? Old people can't sit on the floor with their legs crossed!

Child 2: Mrs Harper are you having a baby, because if you are you need to go to hospital!
{Do I look as if I am about to have a baby?} 
Child 2: Yes.

Day 24
24/100 #100HappyDays I had a win win win at Aldi
1 - I didn't queue for a parking spot
2 - fresh mint ready to plant - I had forgotten I needed it for my Pimms o'clock
3 - I beat the cashier. No having to pack in the bagging area shame for me.

Day 28
June 24
What a clever little nephew I have.
I came from work to find I had a present, inside was an upcycled plastic bag chicken chosen by Alex Forman and a card designed by him.
I wanted one of these chickens so badly a few years ago I found out how to make them (or something like them). Now I have the real thing.

Day 30

I've had the most lovely class this week and, although I was booked into another school for tomorrow, I have been able to sort it so that I can have another day with them. Now, fingers crossed for a dry afternoon so we can have sports day.

18, 19, 20, 21, 22 / 100 Happy days

I enjoyed five minutes of sun in the garden when I got in, had a little mow of my little lawn and then made my own rainbow as I watered my poor little plants.

A couple of weeks ago I did a quick pastel sketch to make a cover for a class book for a class I was teaching. I went back to that school yesterday to find the year group had used it as a basis for their first art lesson of the year. Happy children, happy me!

Another lovely day. Part of my literacy lesson outside because it was wrong to be inside, and an early evening spontaneous walk with a friend.

#100happydays 
Simple things today, this is a rose my sister Helen gave me for my birthday about 5 years ago. It was bright orange then, I'm not sure what's happened this year. It always starts to flower a couple of weeks before my birthday and makes me smile.
