Did you see the giant smiley in the sky? I did, which was amazing because it's almost always cloudy when I attempt to view astronomical phenomena. I even managed to take a photo of it (shown right), which I am ludicrously pleased with. I must have looked quite a sight taking it: lacking a tripod, I improvised one using a stack of garden furniture, and I kept the camera still with the little wedge of wood that normally holds the back door open.
Today my mother and I went to several different tank suppliers to look at water tanks. (A fun day out for the Daisy family!) Coming out of one shop, we walked past a small, thin man with a long, straggly beard he'd tied in a beardy ponytail. He was carrying a long-haired terrier with its hair tied off its face in a topknot, and the two of them looked so much alike I wanted to laugh out loud. I didn't though... at least, not until we got back in to the car and my mother suddenly said, 'Did you see that man who looked like his dog?' and we both got the giggles.
This gets my vote as best headline and oddest story of the day. At least the container won't sink.
