You read that right.
Let’s talk about the not-so-nice features of “sum-sum-summertime”.
- Breathing problems. If you’re in ill-health or ancient.. I mean, a senior, then the dog days of summer are not your friend.
- Humidity. Swamp-ass, anyone?
- Loud neighbors who sit on their front porch and yak ’til 3 A.M.
- If you can’t afford central air, you’re pretty much cooked. Literally!
- Loud neighbors who sit in their backyard and party ’til 3 A.M.
- The kids are home – every… single…day!
- Your wife is so tired from watching the kids refuses to do that thing with her tongue… You fellas know what I’m talking about, right?
I could go on, but you get the idea. Summer rocks, but like every season, it has its drawbacks. I know some guys who dread the inevitable “family vacation” and all the terror that goes along with it.
But that’s another post.
Until then, stay cool okay?
AVAILABLE NOW!!
On Amazon, that is. The Kindle version is coming… I promise!
Bring on winter, I say. I can’t stand all this heat.
Winter can suck as well, but I hear you!
Feeling the love there Hook?? Between this post and the other, more sex than usual. Love the summer here, not so much where we used to be, mega swamp-arse. Hate the humidity!! Winter is cool. But then I don’t live somewhere where it snows in winter either..
Lucky gal….
Mostly unrelated to your post, my copy of The Bellman Chronicles just came in the mail. I can’t wait to read it tonight, straight on through my trip to Comic Con!
I can’t wait to hear your review!
You’re going to Comic Con? Don’t take this the wrong way, but you suck!
Just kidding – sort of.
I am so jealous!!! I want a copy to arrive in the mail!!!
you mean your wife won’t let you watch her eat her ice cream cone right?
I am uber crazy. I love the extreme temperatures of hot and cold. I just hate sweating; and I do it in the heat of summer or the chill of winter. But i never feel too hot or too cold. So that’s great!
I love hearing from you, Woman! Thanks!
Agreed- it is SO HOT here in Toronto! My commute to work while wearing a suit almost killed me this morning
Hang in there, young lady!

- Alrighty then!
i. Don’t like the blazing sunlight. It burns my skin and gives me a headache. The latter even if I’m indoors and the drapes aren’t drawn shut.
My survival ensemble for an outdoor trip in the daytime: shades, hat pulled low over eyes, parasol and long sleeves over trousers or long skirts. Uh huh, in summer.
ii. Sweating makes my body itch all over. It ain’t pleasant when I’m not at home-sweet-home where I can scratch where it itches.
But I still don’t dislike summer. Now that I think about it, I don’t quite have a favourite season. Do you think I’m normal, Dr.Hook?
May the sales of ‘The Bellman Chronicles’ soar like the hemlines in summer!
Kate
You’re DEFINITELY normal, Kate!
And thanks for the good wishes!
You had me at “Swamp ass anyone?“. LOL! The summer isn’t half as bad when we go through it with The HOOK.
You’ve reeled me in a gain. How COOL of you. (-;
I’m off to grab a shawl and read more of your mind…
You’re one of my biggest fans! Thank you!
I should be thanking you sir & You’re welcomed. Did I tell you that I’m HOOKED? lol! You know I’ll be back. Ow! Happy Tuesday o’ favorite BELLMAN of mine. (-:
You’re far too kind…
I don’t like summer either. Too hot. Winter, now, that’s another thing altogether.
At least we can function better in the winter… To a degree, anyway!
Not to mention the annoying bugs (insects, not kids, although everything they want to do seems to cost money and they just keep bugging you…)
One nice thing about summer – with people on vacation, some radio/tv/ local newspapers are trolling for interviews filler…could be a break for a new author? (OK will stop bugging….)
Great post
Thanks! Summer is a natural topic to explore, isn’t it?
Everything here is starting to look like a jungle. It’s too fraking hot to weed, trim or do anything in the garden. Everyone is a bit crazy cause it’s too fraking humid to do that other thing. But look on the bright side the grass is all dried up so no mowing.
Keep you chin up. lady! Its bound to rain sooner or later – I hope!
