Hot town summer in the city

Yep, it's summer at last. I am not saying it's particularly enjoyable, but at least it fits my definition of summer. So this morning I was sitting in the kitchen with my flatmates arranging to go to tesco's to buy things, when suddenly we had a better idea. We all got dressed and went to Trent Park, we had a picnic there, with a checked blanket and munchies and all. It was great. People there sunbathing in their swim suits, some playing frisbee, all by the lake. It felt 'almost' like being on the beach. God I miss the beach.

p.s.
the best way to read a paper on cognitive pragmatics is lying on your back under the shade of a tree, by a lake where ducks pass by you, with a bag of maltesers and a cold juice somewhere handy. Oh, wait.. this is the best way to read anything in linguistics really.. mmm, or anything non-linguistic too... ok, this is the best way to read.
