Apple ciders, barefoot football and lazy twilights

My first exam is in two days and, despite the most honourable of intentions, the past few days have been dangerously devoid of any form of study. Yet I find myself remarkably lackadaisical about the whole affair. Summer, after all, is in the air. The world is crawling incrementally towards the better solstice and the warm fingers of sunrays are edging over the Rimutakas to hold our harbour city in their grasp. With them they bring lingering twilight, crisp apple ciders, barefoot football, the sting of the shower against sunburnt skin, amiable company and the inescapable allure of gelato, sand and surf at Oriental Bay.


Some gorgeous wisdom on how to enjoy that wonderful gift of a summer's afternoon. Go from babe to babe

Well worth the download for some swinging summer tunes- Itchy Feet


Sunny Afternoon- The Kinks





"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.  A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world."
  ~Ada Louise Huxtable


"Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language."

~Henry James
