I think it's nearly summer time!! Which can mean only one thing. It's that time of year that I successfully manage to get sunburnt regardless of the country, climate or factor 50 children's suncream that I apply. I think after 19 years,  I have to face the fact that I am about as likely to achieve a natural sun tan as a mole rat that lives underground in the Antarctic. My skin just isn't able to bronze. It does go a lovely shade of lobster though! I've managed to burn in the Shetland Island's and the northern most parts of Scotland in winter in the past and so I should have guessed that the first glimpse of summer sun we got,  my skin would too decide to react similarly. CUE THE SUNBURN!

If anybody has any good suggestions for suncream for me, I would gladly take them. As for the three weeks in France planned at the end of July; pray for me readers.

One thing I genuinely love about summer time, is the tonnes of books that authors seem to release! My inner book worm rejoices every summer. I love taking stacks of books away with me and feeling more intellectual and superior to the fellow Brit sat next to me who is reading Heat or Closer magazine and indulging in a story about how a man was born with five nipples on his back. However, I don't enjoy deciding which books to take with me or finding a good book. I hate reading other people's reviews due to personal taste.
The entire world seemed to go mad for the Fifty Shades series, whereas I can think of much better things to do than read about people being tied up and forced to act out fantasy sex scences. This is not good reading. This is just socially acceptable porn.Also, I find it hard to read a book after watching a film. I loved the Les Miserables film, read the reviews for the book, bought the book, could not for the life of me get into the book (1330 pages of ridiculously long names and sentences without commas. My brain needs a breather too!!) I'm going to challenge myself to finish Les Mis over this summer time though. My brain could do with the workout, and who knows, once I've finished that, I may be up for the next level of challenging reads;
The Bible.

Genuinely scared at the prospect of starting this beast.

Finally, I canny wait for my friends to come home from various universities and we can start our daytrips and plans for summer. My friend Julia and I make lists every year of all the amazingly cool and exciting things that  could/can/should only be done by amazingly cool and exciting people that we obviously are.
These plans almost always never get done and at the end of the summer we are left with a depressingly unfulfilled list of amazingly cool and exciting things we have yet again failed to achieve.

So that's another goal of mine....finish at least 5 of the 40 things that I have planned since last summer.

Not one of the things on that list states dressing up as a member of One Direction, however, I did it anyway, so I have to upload a photo to show you. It's a once in a lifetime occurrence; I promise.

Definitely think One Direction should find space for two new members
