Smiles Screams and Sighs…

Yes,  it’s been a week filled with them

Smiles when driving to the gym at cars slowing down the let a Mumma Duck and her brood  cross the road…..Screams when a young red P plater zoomed past, obviously ‘upset’ with having to slow down and wait.

Smiles as I approached the gym thinking about the plan I’d put into action ……..Sighs when I realised how many had arrived before me – a fullish carpark reminded me schools were open again and all the mum’s were allowed out lol

Smiles early in the week as I filled the fuel tank in the car thinking I’d just snuck in at the low end of the price cycle….Sighs this morning as I see the price is even lower

Smiles at the park when I saw the council had finally erected a barrier at the duck pond …..Sighs when I looked back, 

No ducks to be seen but an off leash Collie ‘frolicking’ in the water.  Wondered where my peace loving Wordless Wednesday duck had gone.

Smiles for the lovely sunny days and coolish sleepable nights we’ve been having….Sighs for the smoke haze noticeable during a couple of them……Sadness for EC and others who are still coping with fires in their areas plus the horrendous effects of smoke produced from them.

Smiles for being able to schedule blog posts ……Sighs from electricity outages and interrupted internet supplies…..even more Sighs over the fact the connection to NBN is coming closer and closer and wading through ISP information (or lack of it) is no longer a laughing matter.  No smiling politely at friends from other suburbs who were confused with it all – we are now in their shoes and it’s not funny anymore!

Smiles as I rounded a bend  in the park thinking how much I enjoyed this little spot, where the windy paths go up the hill a bit and where I often pause to take a photo…..

Screams as I’m lining up to take another one and a cyclist zoomed past, nearly sending me flying.  Caught him in the act and fumed all the way home!

So how has your week been?

Any Smiles Screams or Sighs??
