Smiley Saturday
Here it is Saturday again. Where have the days gone? It’s been another busy week with Uni starting, Daisy had her first ever swimming carnival and just adjusting to a new routine all making the days fly by. But its been another great week.
The two top reasons to smile this week are again the kids and their achievements. Daisy went in three races and managed to come third in her backstroke. She was given a ribbon for her effort and that made her day. Tiger had cricket today and for the first time, his team won. By 9 runs. And they scored more than 60 runs, not the usual 20. He plays for his school in terms 1 and 4. The teams change at the beginning of each term so this team is still getting to know each other, but they are already working really well as a team and today’s score reflects that.
Another reason to smile is that I have survived the first week of Uni. There hasn’t been that much happening but it’s a milestone. There’s more to this, but that’s another post on its own.
Lightening did a review of my blog over at Lightening’s Blogworld which was wonderful. Thanks for a great review, although I am the first to admit that there isn’t much to review yet. I’m working on that I promise.
So, another great week here with lots to smile about. I hope that you had lots to smile about.

Our eldest had swimming carnival today. The first one I’ve been to!
Thanks for joining in Smiley Saturday.
P.S. I’m glad you liked the blog profile I did.
I remember a swimming carnival from my early high school years. I entered and won my race but got disqualified because I didn’t swim “properly”. I’m a self taught swimmer and never did get the hang of the flutter kick, so my arms do the crawl style while my legs do the frog kick more commonly done with breaststroke. I didn’t know about the proper face in the water turn to one side breathing either, I was a chin up see where I’m going swimmer. Looking back now I’m sure everyone must have laughed at me but I didn’t care then and I don’t care now. I had fun and I won. Congratulations to Daisy and Tiger.
Anja - Egads is right. But I am surviving. So far anyway
Nikki - Thanks and glad you have lots to smile about
Bettina - Thanks for the comment and once again for the Bling
Naomi - I will post soon with more about Uni.
Lightening - yep lots on my plate but I am loving it. Most of the time anyway. Hope you enjoyed your first swimming carnival
River - A friend’s daughter had a similar thing as far as disqualification at her school swimming carnival recently. I think that if they are younger and don’t swim competitively then the schools need to be a little flexible with the “technical” aspects of it. Good for you for having a go.
