The feelings of summer
1. putting on a wet cossie, because it hasn't had time to dry since your last swim.
2. taking off your cossie and handfuls of sand hitting the floor
3. Gritty Sand - underfoot, between your toes, inside the bed, in the car, clagged around the lid of the block-out, inside your bag, in your scalp, inside your ears
4. that slightly tight, weathered feeling of your skin after you lost track of time with your friends and accidentally spent too much time out in the sun, without topping up the block out.
5. The smell of cestrum nocturnum - night-flowering jasmin
6. the confusion of a grumbling tummy telling you it's dinner time, when it's still so bright, surely it's only afternoon?
