Summerlist®
As well as the ‘In The Summertime’ playlist, I decided I’d write a list of all the things I would like to (but probably won’t get around to doing) this summer.
- Go on holiday // This one is a dead cert. The family and I are off for a week to Goodrington/Paington/Torbay — I’m gonna feel like a kid again; it was always one of our top destinations when I was younger.
- Get a job // This I cannot see happening if I’m honest, but it sure would be nice. I’ve applied to a few places already with no success, and not many are hiring at all. [Looks like I got a job after all. I'm a checkout dude in Sainsbury's]
- Barbecue // We’ve already had a couple this year, and I guess this is just hoping the weather stays good enough for more.
- Read- a lot // As I’ve got nothing else to do I can see this being possible. There is nothing better than reading a good book by the pool or on the beach; I’m currently reading Stephen King’s ‘Misery’. I want some more stuff to read, so let me know if you know of anything.
- Have a moviemarathon™ // Mr. Hanks may be coming back out as I need something to watch now that I’ve almost finished watching ‘House’. [Did this with Tor last night
] - Photograph // I want to photograph more people as I don’t really get a chance to. Holiday should be a chance to do this.
- Not worry about my GCSEs // This is one thing that is not going to happen. I worry too much and the closer it gets to the results day, the more worried I seem to get.
- Coffee // This may seem a bit loser-ish, but blame Oscar— he suggested it. I guess coffee is just an excuse to meet up with friends to make sure we don’t lose contact, and there’s the fact that Pret’s coffee is amazing /trufax! [I met up for coffee with Oscar and Charlie, and then we went for coffee with Chris and Charlotte during Tweetup West]
- Bike ride // This would mean getting my bike fixed, but I think it would be a lot of fun. The county is literally 5 miles away from my house and cycling over to there with my camera would be awesome. Just gotta see if I can drag some lazy people with me.
- Picnic // I have never had a planned, proper picnic with friends. [Did this last week, it may not have been as planned as I would have liked, but it was a picnic and it was with friends].
- Fishing // I went mackerel fishing with school on camp way back when and I’ve always wanted to try it again — can’t see it happening though.
- Paintballing // I’ve always been too much of a pussy to try this as everyone has said it hurts, maybe this year is the time to actually do it.
- Learn guitar // Duncan, master of the acoustic, has made me want to learn the guitar badly. Being able to play Ryan Adam’s ‘I See Monsters’ would be epic.
- Tweetup // Tweetup West is coming up and I hope all the awesome people I chat to on a day to day basis are coming. [The tweetup wasn't really a success, but it was darn fun hanging out with Chris and Charlotte <3]
