Things To Do In Summer
[ 25 May 2007 ]
Due to public demand… !
Have picnics all the time — make egg sandwiches, take a thermos of something cold, feed each other strawberries. Remember to take a kite, a blanket, some kind of music setup & sunscreen!
Make friends with someone who has a swimming pool — or find one you can sneak into easily.
Take hundreds of photos of yourself & your friends, with the clear blue sky as a backdrop. (Bonus points if you use a Polaroid camera.)
Buy a big white bedshirt & wear it all the time.
Go to outdoor cinema showings & take bubble mixture.
Dye a mosquito net your favourite colour — pink or violet or midnight blue — & hang it above your bed.
Buy some blotting papers & use them when your makeup starts to go shiny from the heat.
Rent a convertible & drive somewhere — maybe Las Vegas, depending on your priorities.
Make (or buy) yourself a juice every morning. My favourites are chocolate + raspberries + soy milk + coconut milk, or mango + pineapple + coconut milk + soy milk + sunflower seeds. Drool!
Go out dancing & kiss cute strangers.
Spend hours on swings in playgrounds.
Enlist your friends & participate in every International Dress-Up Day!
Throw a tea-party & celebrate small days!
Sit on a porch/verandah/patio at sunset, listen to Elliott Smith really loudly & drink something tasty (like Jameson’s with lemonade).
Buy a bicycle & pedal furiously all over the place.
Use Google to find out about local events over the summer. Most cities have festivals a go-go & there is always something worth going to!
Ride a carousel & laugh mirthfully the whole time.
