belly laughs?

My weekend started well with tons of hugs from some of my besties, so I was able to genuinely say the week was beautiful :)
I unusually have my lovely kids most of this weekend and am hoping to hang out and enjoy relaxing. There's a jigsaw of my son's choosing to finish, books to read, and I'm toying with taking them out for tea at the place that does mammoth desserts - they've not been before, I'll see if they're keen.

Apparently yesterday was belly laugh day. I didn't do any belly laughs - I had some weepy moments with some lovely listening folk, as the sadness of losing my friend and all that entails keeps overwhelming me at times. It seems so very senseless and I'm grateful to those who are alongside me in that rather than trying to make any sense of it.

Maybe today there will be belly laughs? I've made a start on watching this talk on The Science of Laughter but as it's over an hour my plan is to finish watching it later (sorry it's a long link, dunno how to get an abbreviated version of it that I'm sure would still work)

I've got as far as discovering that in a competition in our bodies between talking, laughing and breathing, the laughter will always take precedent and win - I've not explained that well ( never was a scientist), you'll have to listen to the talk yourself. I got my book group chums to list some books that made them laugh out loud, maybe today I'll also scour the charity shops and see if I can find something to get me giggling.

I hope whatever you do today it gets you laughing.

... No laughter here yet but I've just picked a mark steel book from my shelf, we'll see if that helps. Still hoping we'll make it our for tea.
