Summer

Just the word seems to conjure up dreamy smiles on peoples faces! Summer, long days, lazy barbeques, days at the beach, sun! These are all valid and very nice things to think about, however, as far as I am concerned, these are the only good things about summer and they are far outweighed by the bad things about summer. I can't get over the amount of people who get excited about forecasts like this week (35, 41, 41, 41, 39)! They say things like "Yay! Bring it on! Woo!" but when I ask what it is they like about the heat, they can't tell me! People, there is noting GOOD about a string of 40+ days! It's all bad! Below is a list of WHY it's bad! Try and dispute any of these reasons!

• A few days over 35 degrees, and your house is like a bread oven
• Increased electricity bills from trying to cool afore mentioned oven like abode
• Trying to fit into last summers shorts and realising that winter really was too enjoyable, all that red wine, hot soups & stews and inactivity
• Going for a brisk walk (in an effort to get back into last summers shorts) and then spending the following hour with a bright red, hot face
• Dying plants, no matter how much you water the poor little buggers
• Getting into the car that has been sitting at the train station all day and burning your hands
• Sweat! Body odour! UGH!!!!!
• Fruit & veg just doesn't keep as well for some reason!
• SO tired! Can't motivate myself to do anything because anything I do causes me to break out in a sweat and feel rotten!!!

I promise my next post will be a happy one!
