It is definitely the best season by far &#8211; hot weather, ice cream vans, swimming pools&#8230; Although the Irish summer never lasts for longer than a week, I still find it highly enjoyable.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Here are 3 signs it&#8217;s definitely summer: <\/p>\n<p><strong>1) The days are getting longer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definitely a HUGE plus. Gone are the early evenings of a setting sun at 5 pm. Now we have sun light well until 10, 11 pm in the evening! I can not only save on electricity, I also have a perfect excuse to watch Orange is the New Black well into the night: if it&#8217;s not dark, it&#8217;s not time for bed. <\/p>\n<p><strong>2) A generally more positive mood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The other day I went to the pub, the bar tender actually said hello and smiled! This is a highly unusual sight in winter time. The brighter days and warmer weather seems to just lift everybody&#8217;s mood so easily. Makes me wonder if more lamps in my house in winter could have the same effect. Hhhm&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><strong>3) My cats are getting even lazier<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year especially. I feel they haven&#8217;t lost all of their winter fur yet, so it could be that they are sweating their paws off and can&#8217;t move for this reason, but I feel that&#8217;s only half the truth. Really, they&#8217;re just using the hot weather as an excuse to make me do even more stuff for them. Oh, you don&#8217;t drink your water unless I bring it right to your favourite lounging spot? Ok, then&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>I feel their laziness is having its effects on me too. Because I&#8217;m so lazy, I have made it VERY easy for you to enter this weekend&#8217;s competition! I have <strong>1 Maglus Stylus<\/strong> to give away to one lucky winner.
