sgtkate   10 #14 Posted May 22, 2017 I know, I blame spellcheck. Or babies waking me up an hour before I have to get up any way.  Only an hour? Can we swap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Halibut   12 #16 Posted May 22, 2017 It's easier to feel happy when it's warm and sunny. I have to be very careful when the sun is out as I come out in itchy bumps, but I love long hot summer days sliding into warm evenings and soft light.

Olive   10 #17 Posted May 22, 2017 I'm happy when the days are long and the sun is shining. I'm happy on Fridays. If it's sunny on a Friday I'm bordering on the manic! I have a job to stop myself skipping as I walk along. Is there an opposite of S.A.D.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #18 Posted May 22, 2017 Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head  Hay fever; people who forget their deodorant; packed, hot, sticky commuter trains; people who forget their deodorant on packed, hot, sticky commuter trains; faulty, under-performing air-con and faulty, over-performing radiators; other people's radios, barbecues and obnoxious, screaming kids.  Summer's lovely on your own terms: a shady spot on a remote beach, dangling my feet in a rock pool, with a goodly supply of something cold, and not a squawking child in earshot. How much time and opportunity do most of us get to really enjoy the summer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

charliewag   19 #20 Posted May 22, 2017 I go fishing in all weathers but it's much more pleasurable with a bit of sun on your back rather than being dressed from head to foot in thermal gear. I've just got home after a nice evening session on my local pond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
apelike   10 #21 Posted May 22, 2017 From experience in the Summer with the neighbours around where I live.  The windows get opened wide. Booze get consumed more. The stereo gets put on full blast with 4 to the floor stuff. Couples start arguing and shouting loudly because of the above. I blast out Hawkwinds "Shouldn't Do That" from In Search Of Space. . . . The rest of the neighbours pray for rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
