Describe an occasion when many people were smiling.
You should say when it happened, who you were with,
what happened and explain why most people were smiling.
What a lovely topic!
Rory, could you give us your story?
Rory's story.
Well, there are lots of times this has happened in my life,
but I think the most recent one for me at least is Or it was my little brother's birthday party.
He just he just turned 33 earlier in January and my parents decided to throw a party for him in their home So when it comes to who I was with it was my brother obviously But also his girlfriend and my partner and I and my parents of course
because it's their house Oh,
and my brother's girlfriend's dog was also there, if you can follow that.
That sticks out in particular because we were all quite taken with her.
She's just a big lump of a dog that doesn't really bother anyone and just sits and chills.
So that was quite nice.
In terms of what exactly happened, nothing terribly out of the ordinary for a birthday party.
We talked a lot because, well, a lot of us had just come back from various holidays over the winter.
So we had a lot of news to share and that was interesting.
My brother had been away to South Africa for a month and that was very fun to hear about.
And we had just been back from the Canary Islands.
