Funny Face
Yep, the funny faces continue! We get to make them at choir as well because it's a great way of lossening up the muscles ready for singing! I also like to wave at people on buses, people sitting at traffic lights, and people on the train! I like to think it cheers people up! As my Gran alwasy said - "IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WITHOUT A SMILE, GIVE THEM ONE OF YOURS" , which I think is just great!
Have a really brilliant weekend! Hugs xx-
