The wind is a changin...

Stylogs,

As it is May, the world is changing for the better. The days are getting longer and the nights give way. I like that.
It is easy to succumb to little temptations such as the old ice cream here, a leisurly frappuccino there (especially in the sunshine). But no, I must hold back. Those summer clothes are hanging nicely in the wardrobe, squinting through the little gap between the old wooden doors whenever the sun is out. They are too small. The shame of buying one size too small. Or is it not...

I have always wonder whether this summer is going to be any better. Is it going to be cold, damp and grey (and that's when it doesn't rain), or will we have a shiny repeat of the summer of 2007, which was glorious and un-forgettable (for some).

If the summer delivers (what a strange concept for people from Greece, Spain, California, Israel and the list is longer than Lands End to John O'Groats), there are a few things I would like to do.

Wear shorts - there is nothing better than a fresh breeze on a well maintained pair of legs (who's been slacking on those squats?). Tall shorts have been witnessed on catwalks on the continent. It'll be interesting to see those babies here.

Wear sandales - not flip flops. enough said.

Try on some cool shades - what's the point of buying them if you never actually wear them. ah, there's never sun here. of well.

Ice cream on a cheesy beach - no wind break (no wind), no crowds, just sun and high spirits.

...that'll be the day.

Hottest May on record (...that was 2008)
