6 THINGS I'LL MISS ABOUT SUMMER

Turns out that "Endless Summer" we were having had an end after all. Bugger.

1: The Not Raining. Lulled into a false sense of dry security, I recently bought my first ever pair of suede shoes. I should have known I'd only get to wear them once.

2: Tossing and Turning. Yes, it's true hot nights can prevent a good night's sleep, as you lie awake worrying about things that aren't actually problems. The cool thing about that is in the morning, you realise they're not really problems. Saves wasting time and energy solving the problems.

3: Getting Washing Dry. Admit it, we all have favourite knickers, second-favourite knickers and then the knickers we'd rather not wear if we can possibly avoid it. Sadly, once the washing pile starts stacking up, it's time to don those ugly undies.

4: Abstaining From Gardening. No point watering things that are dead. No need to weed weeds that haven't grown. Can't mow a lawn that's turned to dust. What a shame.

5: Electing Not to Go to the Beach. Just because I LIVE at the beach, doesn't mean I have to GO to the beach. When you're having an endless summer, you can just go to the beach tomorrow, right? DAMN IT!

6: Not having to clean my glasses EVERY BLOODY SECOND because they've just been rained on. I'll see you next summer. I mean that literally; I won't be able to see you properly until it stops raining.
