A smile is a great way to start the day

Good morning Just South of North readers. There is nothing more pleasant in the mornings than to wake up with a smile on your face. Well, a London artist tried to do just that yesterday in the skies above the city.

In an attempt to help spread happiness in the gloom of February, the artist, 28-year-old Stuart Semple decided the best way to make people's days better was to smile.

So he released more than 2,000 pink smiley faces into the London sky.

Now these smiley faces weren't balloons. Oh no. They were made from helium, soap and vegetable dye.

Each face lasted about 30 minutes before they "popped."

We at JustSoN hope you have a great day, and remember, smile. It's contagious.
