Pansies

Today's the day ....................... for reasons to be cheerful

It's been raining pretty much all of the day - just a bit of a lull in the past hour, enough to nip outside for a garden blip.

So, it's just as well that there has been a riveting Time Trial to watch this afternoon - the first stage of the Giro d'Italia  cycling race - otherwise I would have been really fed up.  And here's two happy smiling faces of some pansies in one of my hanging baskets.  

Or at least, I think they're happy, smiling .......................?
