Happiness - #widwed150818

To me there is quite a large happiness quotient in this blip.  At least that's what I was aiming for as BobsBlips' WidWed theme this week is 'emotion'.

This young guy was busking in the High Street today.  He played fiddle and - to me - an unusual African instrument you pluck with your thumbs.  Was is Zambian or Zimbabwean?  The awful thing is I can't remember. You can see most of it between the dog's front and hind legs.

As well as clearly being happy playing music, he loved his dog.  That's why he's smiling.  The dog is called Cilla, a cross between a staffy and a husky.  He told me they are his two favourite breeds of dog and he was therefore ecstatic when his dad brought her home.

There's a little extra happiness added by the pregnant woman who must be very close to her 'happy event', and the ladies in the background - two friends drinking coffee and another smiling into her phone.
