Memorial Day is almost here (at least in the US) and it’s the unofficial start to the summer season
1. Do you have any big plans for the summer/winter (depending upon your hemisphere)?
We've just had 6 months of rain, humidity, flooding, rising damp & mould. Hoping for a dry Winter...
2. Have you ever been or are you a fan of camping?
I don't know that I'm a 'fan' as such, though I've camped a lot over the years & do enjoy it
3. Did you ever go to a sleep-away camp in the summer when you were a kid?
For the first 4 years of high school, we were sent on 8-10 day Outward Bound camps, which involved hiking, abseiling, caving, river rapid riding & extremely basic camping. Sometimes in Summer, once during a bitterly cold Winter. A friend of mine went on the first one, lasted 4 days & walked to a not-so-nearby farm to phone his parents to get him the hell out of there... He never had to go on another one!!
4. What is going to be the high point of the fast-approaching season?
I love the cold. you can always put on another layer of clothing, or a blanket. In Australia's Summers there are times when you'd tear your own skin off if it meant you could cool down more...
5. What is your favorite way to beat the heat/ be warm and toasty?
Beat the heat: Standing in my local Dan Murphy's cold room. Be warm & toasty: Blanket, cat, L-SP, heater & big-screen TV
