Summer Means This. 48/52 #LifeThisWeek. 2018.123.

In Australia it is officially Summer from 1 December until 28/29 February. But the weather-maker does not always get the memo.

The weather that I am most familiar with in Summer is HOT, HOT, HOT with some patches of COOLER….and of course that old curse; humidity!

Summer means:

• sticky feeling wearing some clothes
• dripping perspiration
• crossing the street from what place of shade to another
• Christmas
• school break-up times
• shopping
• watching sport – on T.V.
• lazy days
• mosquitoes buzzing at night
• flies. Oh the flies.
• the smell of barbecues cooking around the neighbourhood
• kids playing outside till after dark: it IS the school hols
• packing the car for the longed-for beach holiday
• the city centre being closed for a few days and streets are pleasant to walk around.
• parks, gardens, the zoo, beaches, council pools and more attracting visitors
• air-conditioning. Seriously cannot deal with summer unless I have air-con.

There are probably many more on this list but I have also included a visual list of Summer for Me.

As we enter our southern hemisphere Summer this Saturday 1 December, what does Summer mean for you?
