REGRETS...

Things I wish I'd done (or not done) this summer:

*Gone swimming in the sea for longer than five minutes.
*Gone swimming in the sea in the south of France.

*Had more than one picnic.

*Had a beach bonfire/bbq.

*Put Duckie's roof down more than twice at all.

*Worn the bikini I bought in March for longer than 5 hours.

*Gone on holiday somewhere in Europe before it was too late / I was too broke.

*Worn shorts.

*Gone on a road trip.

*Made more of the few proper summer days.

Bye summer, I love you, though I hardly knew you.

well i "mmm'd" or "ohh'd" for the majority of what you wrote, comparing it to my own list...;(

and!! to make matters worse...yesterday on my morning bike ride, as i stopped at the stop-light a woman on the sidewalk starting talking to me, (how very new york of her!) "oh you are still wearing shorts, i guess it is ok under the sun...but you do know it will snow in a month"...
and sadly yes, i know!...it probably will snow within a month...;(
