Monday 1 July 2013

Hi July


It’s Monday which would normally mean me dreading the beginning of another week at work and waking up to that all-too-familiar ‘Monday morning feeling’ but today I had other things to dwell over. Today was the 1st of July. The first of July. July being the seventh month of the year. Seventh!!! What on earth? How did we get here so quickly?

Since waking up this morning I still haven't really got over the fact that we are half way through the year already and subsequently spent a lot of today wondering where the last six months have gone. My conclusion: time really does fly! Now there's something something I thought I'd never say. When I was younger I never understood the whole "time flying" concept, nor did I believe people who said it. Time didn't seem to fly at all, I remember the majority of my time at school was spent willing it away so it could be the next half term or holiday, yet they’d always take forever to come around. That most definitely isn't the case anymore. Time absolutely whizzes by. It was my birthday two months ago, Christmas six months ago and the Olympics are nearing on a year ago. Craziness. 
 
Who knows what the latter half of 2013 has in store, but I’m determined to make it better than the first half. 
So c’mon July, give me what you’ve got!

Things I’m hoping will happen in July:
- For there to be non-stop sunshine and the minimum temperature being 20°
- Lots of cocktail clubs
- To have a BBQ one evening down on Sandbanks beach
- To have Pimms o'clock in Hyde Park
- To watch the sunset over the city from Primrose Hill
- And lastly to be given the entire month off work, whilst being paid double. Pretty please?
