well i don't know about the rest of you but it definitely seems to me as if spring may have almost if not finally sprung and there has been a noticable change in the weather the past week or so (not that it's stopped my mum turning the bloody heating on full), so we could be in for another hot summer... oh dear.
i've not really got anything against summer but it tends to bring with it more disadvantages than the coldness of winter, a few examples being: hayfever (not a sufferer myself), flies, ants, clammyness, dehydration, sweating, stickyness, sunburn, woolworths's "back 2 school" adverts, my birthday, more daylight, noisy ice-cream vans, peer pressure to join in any family activity involving water, people cutting their grass early in the morning when you're trying to sleep, not having anything to do. the need to shower more than once a week...
but it does also have it's advantages. cold drinks, ice-cream, ice-lollies, the need to wear less clothing, barbecues, beautiful early sunrises and late sunsets (although those things are beautiful any time of the year), the summer holidays (applicable only to those attending educational facilities...), not having anything to do...
i can't really make my mind up about summer, i don't really like being too cold but i hate being too hot, plus it's a lot easier to get warmer than it is to get cooler.
so how do you feel about summer?
