summer holidays

the summer holidays are always a bit strange: 6-9 weeks of freedom when you're at school, then like 3 months from Uni. But the workers get a rough deal: 4 weeks holidays a year or something.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but perhaps I'm just nostalgic for the easy summers we had when we were in primary school and were content just to play in the park, run around like savages, be the free children we were. somewhere along the line, we lost that mindset, we thought we need to earn money, we can't just enjoy the summer months, bath in the sun, run around in stupid swimsuits and play in the backgarden with water guns. No, we've gotta go to work. Begrudge our families the time spend with them, moan about work and missing the weather with our friends instead of having picnics and making the most of the evenings..

so, who wants to go for a picnic? anyone?
enjoy your summers.

this was my most random post to date.
just thought you should all know that.
