Holiday

One week of my summer holiday has already gone by. It's been lazy days for most part. I've done some washing, I've sorted things in the garden and yesterday I was baking bisques with lemon mousse in it :)
The weather has been marvellous so far! - and I'm very happy about it. I couldn't wish for a better first week of holiday. I'm soon to go to Ireland as well and I'm really looking forward to it. Until I heard on the radio yesterday morning that they had 16 degrees in Dublin. They'd better be joking, I thought to myself. No one's meant to be cold during the summer! No one should be allowed to wear long sleeved jumpers and jeans in the summer either (unless they for some reason must). Being the Swede I am, I wear shorts, skirts and dresses because it's that time of the year. Earlier this year for instance, I think it was during the end of May, I decided it was summer and wore a dress on my commute to work even though on occasion it was no more than 10 degrees or so that early in the morning :)

Anywho; I spoke to a Dublin friend after my findings yesterday and was reassured it got a lot warmer than those 16 degrees as the day went by :) *phew!*

I have also decided to make a list of things I want to do this summer, while I'm off work and have plenty of time on my hands:

  • Buy a new summer dress (this will be made a new annual thing from now on)
  • Load turf onto a trailer when in Ireland (was told we might do that and I'm excited already!)
  • Have an ice cream with loads of sprinkles
  • Have coffee and pastry in town, eating it outdoors is a must
  • Eat dirty kebab! :)
  • Stealing the mister's moped for a joyride
  • Tend to the roses in the garden
  • Kill all the Stormcloaks in Skyrim (just because they're the rebel underdogs doesn't make them right!!)
  • See if I can find a suitable piano and save up for it
  • Watch Mulan in Mandarin
  • Decorate the bedroom and make the library less messy
  • Learn to make vintage hairdos and keeping up using nailpolish
That's about it at the moment :)

What plans do you have for your summer holiday? How long a holiday do you have?
