What are you looking forward to for the Summer of 2018?

Now try and not get into the debate of when Summer begins. Hopefully the weather will be good.
I haven't much on this Summer but I'm looking forward to getting the eighth amendment and it's thread out of the way!

What are you looking forward to for the Summer of 2018?

The World Cup.

The Galway Arts Festival! Flaming Lips, Madness and Caribou! I don't know if I'm able for 3 nights in a row but i'll give it a lash!

My daughter coming home from abroad. Haven't seen her since last September.

So far, my birthday, Pride, my best friend's birthday, our wedding anniversary, All Together Now, Electric Picnic and hopefully the weather will be good for at least one of these:cool:

Solomon Pleasant

The GAA Championship.

Hande hoche!

Sunburn and Korean peace talks.

DoozerT6

Among other things, driving to and from work in brightness and (hopefully) sunshine, instead of darkness and driving rain!!

Roger Hassenforder

im looking forward to deciding at work around lunch time, with a clear blue sky, to have a bar-b-q that evening, calling into Tesco and getting my meats and beers on the way home, rooting in the shed for bar-b-q, wiping miscellaneous animals' encrusted sh1t, grease and fat from the bar-b-q, getting it hot enough just as it starts to rain, and the kids going, "ya dad, give us a shout when the burgers are ready, we're going in out of it".

Also looking forward to being instructed to inflate the paddling pool for the kids, rooting in the shed again, pulling it out of the box, looking for the missing valve seal under the lawnmower and shovels, spending 30mins inflating it, 15mins patching a hole, another 30mins inflating, another 30mins filling it, then covering the kids in sun cream, before spending 5mins watching the kids splashing about in it before hypothermia starts to set in, taking them out and drying them off. Emptying the water, deflating it, drying it and putting it away in the box for another year.

Outlaw Pete

Bill Burr, Liam Gallagher and Billy Joel gigs.

Decent weather, the garden thriving, lots of decent fishing, a trip to Italy, family home from the US and the health to enjoy it all.

quickbeam

Nick Cave, Billy Joel.

My first island summer. Looking forward to quiet weeks, bird and seal watching ( being given binoculars next week), to growing flowers... above all to heal from many years of stress and being overstretched.

Just a quiet summer. Just that, and putting deeper roots down here. Bliss

The endless rain.

- going to Berlin
- going to see Bill Burr in the 3 in June.
- hopefully taking a few mini trips around Ireland
- getting the 8th ref out of the way
- hoping my treatment continues to keep me stable over the summer

I see what you did there!

Anyways, I'm looking forward to doing the July provision - while I'll be studying for the Leaving Cert in advance, I won't be neglecting fun activities.

r93kaey5p2izun

World cup and new job. Generally dreading summer though, as I do every year, due to unbearable levels of antisocial behaviour. Hopefully the new job is the key to finally getting away from this nightmare though.

Conservatory

Liam Gallagher. Camping in France. Wedding in Madeira. Trying to figure out how to cheaply insulate my conservatory roof. It’s like an oven in there.

Samuel T. Cogley

The general undress of young women on housing estates.

blackdog2

The smell of freshly cut grass, the general sense of community with barbeques and beer coolers, a nice cool pint of cider in a beer garden, plenty of sporting occasions at all levels, music festivals and open-air concerts, scrotey birds with their bellybuttons out

You going to Autechre B?

Two weeks booked for Kyoto in July.
I've got an invite for three weeks in Thailand after Kyoto. Everything covered by friends. Awesome.
Going back to live in China again. Woot.

Lorelli!

Lots of camping, bbqs, being able to wear sandals and dresses, my uncle usually has a big super bbq party some time in June and a few other celebrations with family and friends.

I'd love to go camping in the South of France but putting it off til next year at least.

PandaPoo

We're going back to fuerteventura in August, my mam is coming with us this year. It's going to be great! The kids will love having her there.

Also looking forward to Foil Arms and Hog in June.

That's it really, other than being outdoors in the sunshine with the kids!

Messing around with the title of the Louise O' Neill thread!

A heads up for anyone that hasn't got their Bill Burr tickets yet, TM just put up some Row 3 and 4 tickets, they won't last long, next best is Row 50 or close which means your seats will be somewhere around Irishtown.

SusieBlue

The referendum being over.

A nice long holiday in the Costa del garden.

mickrock

Seeing fish jumpin' and the cotton getting high.
