End of Summer

Early morning at beach
I know it's the 4th of September and I know lots of people went on their Autum modes the moment clocks hit 12 a.m. on the 1st. But unfortunately I'm not like that. Maybe it's because I'm a procrastinator but probably because it's still above 30C around here, I don't feel like summer is over. (Summerhouse plans for the next week are also preventing me from that) The problem is I don't know where summer went. And while I want to blame the horrible days we went through as a family, it'd be an overstatement. Because those days were mostly over during summer and I didn't want to do anything. This doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the summer. But I also realized that I need to remember those moments and that's where a blog comes handy. What did I do this summer?
  • Was mostly in the summer house with a spectecular mountain view and 10 minutes walk to the beach. 
  • Some friends came to visit so we stayed till late at nights and slept on the beach because of the heat. We also ate tons of mussels and drank beer a lot.
  • I got to go to Tenedos with other friends. Probably had the most delightful 3 days. Walked a lot, drank a lot of wine and watched the sunset. 
  • Then some extended family members came to visit. Which was actually more fun than you might think. So we had huge dinners which led to lazy conversations. 
  • I came back to the city a couple of times. It was not that bad. Watched Star Wars in open air, had picnics in the park. I met with an old friend and a new friend in Istanbul for 2 days. Gotta miss Istanbul. (Besides I had quite a lot of fun)
  • I finally wrote some stuff. Not that much but it was still more than rest of the year.
  • I didn't read much unfortunately. But the book I enjoyed most was Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin (Don't ask me why it took me so much to finally read this book).
  • And I finally realized how much I missed 'listening' to music. Actively, like the old times. 
  • Oh and I ate a lot.

    1. Thank you so much! I always wish I can post more but I end up being lazy. Though lately I feel more inclined to set blog goals so I HOPE there'll be more activity and posts will be less sporadic.

      Also thanks for dropping by because now I discovered your blog which is fantastic.
