the word for Saturday 20.02.2010 is OPTIMISUM

To-day's word is Optimism. We went for Tony's second walk today to Wimbledon Common. You would think thiat this word would be an easy one and ypou would be right but l had quite a job. Children trying to do things above their capability, dogs trying to carry a stick 3 times its width and quite heavy for that at that. On the common there were loads of dogs doing this but if onkly they would stay still long enough for me to take an image! It was getting quite cold and so we decided to turn round and go back. There in front of me was my image.

This child was trying to cycle through this mud puddle!!!very optimistic....she had to get off and push in the end! very sweet!
