Apologies

For my blogging has taken a turn for the absolute incredibly boring at the moment! I guess it's because i don't have enough to rant about.

The weather is absolutely glorious and this is actually the reason why I decided to land in the UK before the winter, so I have the summer to look forward to. In Dobuy the sun sets around 7pm this time of year if i remember correctly, the nights are far too humid to sit outside. Once i spent 45 minutes straightening my hair and after sitting outside for 20 minutes, it looked like a very bad Diana Ross doo! So you end up cooped up in an air-conditioned room where the AC is so incredibly cold, you need to wear cello tape on your nipples.

While here, you get the gentle nip in the air, the looong sunsets, with longer days. It makes you want to stay outside until the sunsets otherwise you feel like you are wasting time. What's the point of having sun all year round when you only get to enjoy it for 3 months of the year (yes, which is 2.5 months longer than us), but it's quality not quantity.

Yes yes, there was a beach 10 minutes drive from where i lived in Dobuy, but seeing the local dish dohes or the crotch grabbing sub-continent peeps posing in their BollywoodBaywatch poses in their y-fronts wasn't the most alluring sight.

One time a friend and I went to a quiet spot on the public beach, only to find that after 5pm it was swarming with sub-continent workers taking a dip to have a bath. Yes they are allowed to go and enjoy the beach as well - I'm certainly not disputing that, however when one of their flip flops or their underwear washes up to your feet, it kinda sorta grosses you out. Yes it actually happened!

To top that, there was one hero type chap who was completely gawping at us. He perched up a few metres away from us not noticing that he had a hard on! Friend and I were rolling over laughing and as soon as he realized he had a little pole between his legs, he shot up and ran into the sea.Hilarious!

Since I've returned, i have longed to have a little picnic in a park on a summers night, sit outside on one of those long evenings sipping iced tea and talking gibberish - finally that time has come. yey!

lol, thanks for reading. i didn't say they were poor or illiterate. I take it you're male and therefore have not experienced the supreme pleasure of being gawped at constantly. Not saying I am anything special. Being female is more than enough to get their attention.

Ooh, saucy comment! I think drooling is drooling no matter where you are and whether they are literate or illiterate....
