Up-teen days of summer

So the UK has experienced it's longest heatwave in about 70 odd years...as far I'm aware, the sun can sod off...

I do not fair well with the sun, I turn into the colour of a lobster and burn like a sausage on a BBQ...I had also experienced a heat rash on my arms, something that has never happened until this year, and could quite frankly live without...

The amount of times my body has been close to giving up and collapsing in public places has entered double figures. Times include: washing my Nan's car, many many tube trains in London and queuing for rides at Chessington World of Adventures.

Surprisingly, the queue for the water ride was the shortest queue we were in all day...

That was a great day though, and soon I will edit this post to show you the picture of us all on the water ride...so funny...but everything was great, and I got to see all my friends who I haven't seen in a long time. Another thank you to Ellen and Beth for letting me stay over...even if I couldn't spend more than 20 minutes watching Supernatural.....*cough* Team Dean *cough*

Air conditioning has now reached the level of being compared to a god as far as i'm aware...the amount of times it has saved me from looked like a Strawberry on trains is more than I care to mention...

My highlight of this beautiful weather was that it was nice and sunny, but not too hot, when I headed to the Midlands to see Swifty and his family. Their garden is beautiful and catches the sun so that it draws in the light but leaves out the heat (much to the dismay of the Tortoise who wanted to sunbathe)

Travelling in this heat is not fantastic, unless you have access to a massive amount of air conditioning or windows that can open. I only had access to these while heading to the Midlands, with Air Con on full blast in First Class (oh yeah, first class!) and when I was in cars travelling with the window open all the way...that did wonders for my hair...

Overall, this summer has been hot, sticky, sweaty and downright annoyingly hot...but I wouldn't change it at all....

...well maybe the sweaty bit...

But there is even more fun to come! I'm heading to Essex again twice, and then heading to Stoke for another work experience interview...yipee!

Chat when I can, if you don't hear from me, assume I have been roasted outside...


Live Long and Prosper,

H.x
