After months of bleak and dismal weather..the cheeky little sun has finally popped its head out of the clouds to shine on the city of Southampton. Every spring, it appears that whenever the temperature tickles above 14 degrees, every English citizen believes that it is time to get their kit off! T-shirts, shorts, bikinis and flip-flops surround the streets. Regardless of that biting wind, we refuse to put a cardy on..even if us girls are smuggling peanuts underneath our bikini tops!
A few days ago my flatmates and i enjoyed our first barbecue of the year; we went to Lidyl for cheap supplies, including a £1 disposable BBQ, some sausages, burgers, Hovis buns and lemonade! Whilst the boys brought the most essential items of the trip..beer and a football. So after we had eaten our burgers and washed them down with a lick of beer, the boys had a kick about while us girls attempted to sunbathe in the warm(ish) weather. Loving life!
The next day, after spending hours on my monotonous uni work, along with a gruelling session at the gym, i was relieved that it was over and that the weekend was looming. Saturday was bliss, but held a slight sting of embarrassment. At 2pm Kelly, Katie and i went on a much needed shopping trip, as the grey materials of winter were suffocating our wardrobes. So we scouted for floral tees and summery dresses as we fluttered around Topshop, New Look and obviously Primark! I can safely say it was an impressive trip as the remainder of our student loans were successfully rinsed :) We then met Andy and Carl in the park, along with a few others. I couldn't help but steal a sip of Fosters and pinch a sneaky sausage as the alluring smell of the barbecue was simply IMPOSSIBLE to resist! The rest of the day consisted of what you would expect; footy, sunbathing and burnt kebabs; however, i became slightly tired of lounging about, so i requested a running race!! I'm guessing it only reached 100metres at a push, but regardless, it was a race. So Kelly and i 'zoomed' off, up to the tree and back barefoot..MISTAKE. As i landed back at the finish line, i peered down at my feet and saw that i had stepped in shit..brilliant. As Kelly and all the boys took the piss out of my pooey toes i began to wash it off, although as there was no evidence of water around, i used beer. Just as good.
So all in all the day was victorious..minus the crap squelching in between my toes; thanks to student finance i now have a healthy serving of summery treats brightening up my wardrobe. I salute you retail therapy!!
