A Summer To Do List
“Sweet, sweet burn of sun and summer wind, and you my friend, my new fun thing, my summer fling.” — K.D. Lang
Wear a sundress, dark glasses and a floppy hat and pretend I’m someone
Run through Hyde Park as the sun comes up
Make strawberry ice cream and eat it between wafers
Sit in my garden and paint pictures of flowers
Harvest my own tomatoes
Muddle the tomatoes with olive oil and basil and eat for lunch in the garden
Walk in Regents Park and smell the roses
Make real lemonade
Have supper in the garden- always
Kayak on The Thames in the early evening
Fill jars with cosmos from the garden and put them everywhere
Take afternoons off to picnic in the park
Create a big pile of books to read in the sunshine
Stop worrying about what I look like in a swimming costume
Read poetry every day
Go to Chelsea Physic Garden and use my real camera, not my phone
Sit outside a cafe and nonchalantly dip croissant into coffee like a French person
Only wear clothes which make me happy
Banish the guilt, and write stories and lists
Paint my nails pink
