Say it with me: It’s Friiiiiiday! And time for another Friday Five before the weekend fully kicks in. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been waiting for the weekend for at least three weeks (feels like)!
This week’s theme is summer. My favourite time of year!
1. What plans did you have for this summer?
Our summer plans were very different this year than they typically are. Normally we go away on holiday just before or just after (it’s cheaper!), and then book in a lot of experiences over the summer, such as theatre trips, cinema, weekends away, and the beach. But this year we’ve been so busy with the business our plans have been up in the air. I’m really hoping we can at least get a Cirque visit and a theatre performance in, though. Otherwise our plans will just be business tasks – not the most exciting!
2. Have you accomplished them or is it still a work in progress?
Hopefully we can book a few things in soon 😉 If not we’ll probably just settle for a couple of trips to the lake!
3. What would make this summer much better for you?
Having more sleep and free time. And slightly cooler weather – it’s been pushing 30 here and that’s quite aggressive when we don’t have aircon and our house gets super hot!
4. When did you go back to school from summer break when you were a kid?
Being in the UK we finished school at the end of July and had six weeks off, so that takes it to mid/late September. To be honest so much time off in one block always threw me and I found it hard to get back into it all in September – I’d have preferred shorter breaks throughout the year!
5. Is anyone else as shocked as I am that July and most of the summer is nearly over?
Sigh…yep. It’s gone far too quickly! I hate that the nights are getting shorter already. On the plus side, I’m looking forward to feeling cold again!!
Over to you: What are your views on summer? Is it your favourite season? Drop me a comment and let me know!
