Project Create Day 15 - Blog #3

Day 15. Blog. Blog. Blog. Blog. BLOG!

It has been way too hot recently; unpleasantly so. Not only have I had the displeasure of lots of daddy long legs and moths annoying me at night, it is so hot that I have found more than a handful of them dead on the floor in the morning, unable to cope with the heat; they should have got out of the kitchen.

Summer is a strange time. For such a long period of my life, it was the most exciting period of the year - I didn't have to do anything because schools were closed, and I often I went on holiday with my family. Nowadays, as someone who considers myself half unemployed and half barely employed writer, I spend plenty of time with very little that I have to do, and the prospect of going away with the family is less enticing. In fact, this year, I see my parents holiday - they are going away for a week to a cottage my Auntie/Uncle own - as a bit of a holiday in itself. While I am not going away, it is, for me, a bit of a holiday away from my parents. That isn't to say I don't love or enjoy the company of my parents - I think they are both brilliant, and I am genuinely very happy living with them - it is just nice to be able to listen to music as loud as I want, eat and drink whatever I please, and - this sums up how socially awkward I can be - I enjoy having days where I don't speak to anyone. There's just something refreshing about not having any human contact for an extended period of time, living entirely in your own bubble.

As for my holiday, I guess I now count going to the Edinburgh Festival as that. It will be nice to see great comedy, meet up with friends, and generally have a fun time away.
