This time of yearBecause I've been feeling a bit "bah-humbug", I thought I should think of all the things that I love about this time of year...
- That it doesn't get dark until after 9pm - I love sitting outside, in the evening sun having a nice glass of sauvignon blanc.
- Going to the beach.
- Pineapple Fru-ju's!
- Great gigs/concerts that I want to see (The Feelers, UB40, Katchafire*, Big Day Out*, U2 & Kanye West*, Goldenhorse*, Phoenix Foundation, Fat Freddy's Drop*, The Datsuns, The D4, Che Fu, Rhombus, Sleater Kinney, Franz Ferdinand*, Blindspott and others...)
- No school kids on the bus! Now that it's school holidays until mid February, there's actually seats on the bus. Wow. Luxury.
- Wrapping presents. Yes, I'm one of those people who loves to wrap Christmas pressies.
- Getting a tan. I know, I know, not good for you (especially as NZ has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world) but I just like the look of tanned skin. I look healthy, and slimmer LOL.
- Relaxing and doing nothing more strenuous than lying in the sun and reading.
- Wearing jandals (flip flops) everyday.
- Summer parties that start with a few friends dropping by for a quick drink and end up with great music, loads of people, food and drink.
You know, I do feel slightly better. Roll on Friday!
*Have my tickets to these gigs, so am looking forward to good bloody concerts.
