Oh the sunshine
I often ask myself why i'm so miserable. Why do i hate the things other people love? Why do the smallest things irritate me so much? Why do i think that certain people or things are against me when they are so obviously not?
The answer is.. I'm just a grumpy sod. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm actually quite proud to be grumpy, i feel it gives me the ability to see things as they are and not the way they perceive to be.
Today has been extremely hot. Too hot. Somehow i feel obliged to sit outside and endure the hot heat! After spending 20 minutes attaching the wireless speakers outside so i can listen to a radio station that i didn't want, i pulled out a sunbed to find that it was part-damp and much shorter than i was which led my legs to dangle over the edge (why can't they make these things sizable for taller people). However, i was determined to keep my cool and enjoy the sun (because that is what we do, is it not?) After an hour of wiping the sweat off my forehead, flicking the bugs off my legs and intense squinting.. i gave up! Finally, i found a cool shaded corner of the garden, sucked on a cider ice lolly and enjoyed the slight breeze (now that was enjoyable).
I do realize that the sun brings people many happy experiences to people. Bbq's, garden parties, holidays, camping, bathing and general outside activities.. truth is, i think its a myth. For a 'not so fit,' Irish blooded, pale skinned miserable git like myself, the sun is a chore, an inconvenience and right pain in the backside!
