A Summer hodgepodge in winter

 


Here I am doing another hodgepodge which is brought to you by Joyce over at http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/

Here are this week’s questions.

Summer officially begins this week (in the northern hemisphere)what was your favourite thing to do in the summer when you were a kid? What do you like most about summer now?

Well, it is winter here but in summer as a child I would spend most of the day outside playing. Now days my summer days are the same as my winter days. 

Something you'll celebrate this summer.

During Summer we have four birthdays we celebrate 

Summer tastes like. Smells like? Sounds like? 

Summer tastes like water ice blocks; it smells like BBQ’s and sounds like laughter and music.

June 18th is National Splurge Day, what's the last thing you splurged on? What might you splurge on today?

I don’t splurge on anything as a rule. 

Share a favourite summer quote, saying, song lyric, or meme. 

Can’t think of a damn thing at the moment.

Insert your own random thought here. 

Remember not to take your life for granted, wake up every day and show deep gratitude for your life. Try your best to be kind and understanding to the people around you.
Appreciate the small moments that you often overlook.

  1. I'm always grateful to wake up, to speak and be able to get out of bed at my age, Jo-Anne.
    Summer, loved to sunbake as a late teenager then later too. Loved the heat, even if I was in Queensland some of the time in summer.

  2. Neither do I splurge on anything. If at all I have spend a lot, I will ponder over it for a long time, before I do. Your random thought at the end is very good. I agree with you fully.

  7. Funny to think of opposite seasons : ) We enjoy the summer here as we can really enjoy the lake. It's pretty in winter but you don't want to swim. I like your random thought a lot. Have a great day!
