    Like every other year, the Galway races the highlight of the summer. 7 days of racing and great nights on the beer!!!

    Also the volvo ocean race especially now that the red arrows are comming!

    Sunshine,sunshine,and more sunshinnnnnnee!
    Apparently this year will be a scorcher....................eh.....well according to my brother-in-law it will be.He's a german "live in the forrest survivalist type",talks to the trees,tracks badgers,eats slugs etc,etc.
    Lived in a straw hut on an island in indonisia for 6 mths,spent 2 mths in the forests of finland eating tourists,6 mths in the aussie outback avoiding backpackers etc,etc..........you get the idea.
    Well this summer will be influenced by the the earths orbit and the closeness of Mars,apparently this only happens ever 50-75 years or something like that.Did'nt really listen to it all or understand it all.But I did promise him a few pints if he's right.It will be worth it.
    We'll see.................

    Lazing on a couple of sunny afternoons and perhaps the opportunity to go somewhere exotic at some stage.

    I'm looking forward to not having to study and work every day. College is hard and I'm wrecked. I want the summer now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    Meh, I've had my summer. I just bought loads of winter clothes, got my winter coats dry cleaned and the clocks have just gone back.

    In saying that - we had a glorious summer. I got sunburned drinking in the garden on Christmas day and spent lots of weekends at the beach. Don't think it gets better than that!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    Feeling a bit homesick after reading this thread and thinking about summer in Dublin. Listening to these two songs so I can wallow a bit in it - sometimes you just have to enjoy it!

    Best of luck......I cant even get a a part time job,

    Is the social welfare still doing the work scheme for college students. I found this great.

    Flip Flops!!!!!And no I won't apologise for the excessive use of exclamation marks!

    Getting to wear skirts without the obligatory black tights,my hair getting fairer because of the sun,t-shirts.
    The smell of cut grass,blue skies,warm breezes.

    I have a feeling this might be the year I actually get a tan
