Summer School -- All Answers Correct

Jeanie did this Summer time quiz recently. Of course, I had to play along, because... Well, basically, because I love doing these, and I couldn't resist.

So, here are the questions, along with my answers. Feel free to play along too.

1. Walk or Bike Ride?

I used to enjoy doing both equally, but these days only walk.

2. Favorite Picnic Food?

Sandwiches. My favourites being egg and cress, cheese and onion, cheese and tomato, or jam (jelly).

3. Pool or Lake?

Either works for me. Although, if it's to hang out near, I'd rather the lake, because then I get the benifit of enjoying nature while I hang out. The ocean is my favourite option though... I love to paddle and splash in the ocean.

4. Favorite Flavor of ice cream?

I have three favourites: Mint choc-chip, toffee fudge, and strawberry. I also love both raspberry and lemon sorbet.

5. Ice Cream Cone or in a Dish?

Cone most of the time, though either works.

6. Flip Flops or Slides?

Actually, whenever possible, I prefer bare feet. When I have to wear shoes of any sort, I prefer daps (I think those outside the UK call them deck shoes) or a light weight pair of trainers (sneakers).

7. Jean Shorts or Jean Capris?

Neither. I don't wear jeans of any sort. Doesn't matter if it's Summer or Winter. I find the material too restricting. I prefer lighter and more breatheable materials.

8. Favorite summer fruit?

Cherries. Although, peaches are a close second.

9. Corn on the Cob or Cut Off the Cob?

Either. If it's on the cob though, it needs to be covered in melted butter.

10. Favorite summertime song?

I'm not sure I really have one. Although, the first song that springs to mind when thinking of an answer to this question is Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime.


11. Favorite summertime activity?

Picnics on the beach.

12. Favorite Berry?

Wait... I have to pick one? Nooo! Don't make me choose! I can't choose! Just give me some of each!

13. Bikini’s, tankini’s or one pieces?

A one piece. As it is I usually wear a t-shirt over that. No, not because of a lack of confidence, though I admit that is a bit of an issue for me. The t-shirt is because my shoulders and back burn way too easily to leave them unprotected. My arms and legs will usually either tan or not catch the sun. My back and shoulders burn quickly and badly, and it doesn't even need to be that hot of a day for it to happen. I'd probably prefer a one piece even if that wasn't a concern though.

14. Dresses or Skirts?

Ugh! Neither! I didn't even wear a dress to my own wedding, so there's no way I'm about to wear one just because the weather is nice. I'll stick to shorts, thank you very much!

15. One Word to describe Summer?

HOT!


That's not always the case over here, but since I'm working on this in temperatures of 27 degrees C (86 F) with only a fan to try and cool myself down, due to our lack of air conditioning, I feel there's no better word to describe the season.
