I hate summer. Stuffy one hundred degree offices, it never being dark enough to sleep for more than a couple of hours, wasps buzzing around you and not leaving you alone, men wearing ridiculous shorts. Bah, humbug.
The only good things I can say about summer are that it comes directly before my favourite season of all, and also that there's loads of sport. The Euros/World Cup, the Olympics, Wimbledon. In years with an odd number, though, today would be the descent into hell. Football finishes today and doesn't start again for three whole months.
Summer is awful. I've never understood the love for it - a remnant of school schedules perhaps? It just seems so bizarre to me that once our celestial god comes down to bestow heat upon us we can finally be happy hedonists. It seems like an undeserved happiness to me, which I suppose is a silly thought. But I'll take autumn and winter any day.
You could be on to something there. Freedom from school. I wondered if it was a time of plenty, even though I didn't really care about food ripening. Food came one way or the other. I guess we both have a background in which neither of us will starve and so we question stuff like this.
The harvest schedules theory makes much more sense, as well as physiological needs for vitamin D and sunlight. It's still odd to me. All of a sudden, everybody's "happy".
which season do you prefer?
