Six Word Saturday - Autumn already?

Summer seems to be flying by

Being that I've now got a job I can overhaul my wardrobe somewhat. It's full of clothes I've had for years which weren't necissarily the nicest pieces, and a lot of them were actually hand me downs from my mum. It's a symptom of being both mahooosively fat and also skint. It's not that lovely clothes don't exist out there for us fat girls but they are rather pricey and I've had much more important things to invest in. Like food, and bills and stuff.

Anyway, I was just browsing one of the less frumpy plus sized catalogues online (who are now so succesful that they're opening an actual shop here in Liverpool - I'm so excited!) and whilst there are still loads of summery cothes there it surprised me how many Aumtumn/Winter clothes were already out. We're only just going into hot hot August!

Obviously I'm so not used to clothes shopping ^_^;;;

 But it really made me think wow, where has this year gone? It doesn't seem like two minutes since we were up north for my birthday back in April. That said, time is an odd thing and it feels like years and years since I had long hair when in deed I only just had it cut in February. Odd how your perception of time gets so distorted. I wonder why April seems like just last week as opposed to February.

Basically, I think Summer has just decided to skip over us.

Not that I mind so much. I love Spring, when the sun is out and it's cheerful and you get that smell of fresh new life on the air, but there's still a nice fresh breeze to stir things up and you probably need at least a nice cardigan to keep the chill off your skin. The long hot days of Summer tend to irritate me. There's no enjoyment to be had from trying to get to sleep when the Sun is still shining, or staying asleep when the Sun wants to be out, nor is there enjoyment to be had from trying to accomplish regular day to day activity when weighed down with bucket fulls of sweat and getting more and more irritated as no relief is to be found.

Thankfully, I live in the northen part of a little Island sticking out into the North Atlantic and such long, hot Summer days are short lived and usually broken up with rain in between which can bring some relief.

Anyway, I've rambled on much too long. I know many of you out there love the Summer but I for now am looking forward to the end of it. It's just scary how soon it seems to have passed already!
