I absolutely love reading blogs. About anything. I could quite happily sit around all day reading other people's posts. Which is kind of what inspired me to start my own. I've always enjoyed writing, and giving my opinion :/. I'm always making notes about mundane things, absolutely everywhere. I've actually been sat here, writing in a notebook, about things to write about in my blog! Makes no sense I know. So I basically thought, "why not put all my random thoughts into a blog?" So here it is!!
Why Lemonade Sundays?
What words spring to mind when you think of lemonade? Fresh, lemon, bright, juicy, bubbly? Personally I always think of wine when I think of lemonade - I like to drink my wine as a spritzer. Last year me and my partner went on a few days out down Manchester, where I live, doing a bit of a bar crawl when the weather was nice. My drink was always wine and lemonade. It soon occured to us that it seemed to be on Sundays that we were going out, which was the only day we seemed to have off work together. Then a few weeks later me and a good friend of mine went out during the week, and I had my usual. Suddenly I just piped up "this is like a lemonade Sunday!" Cue odd look...
Now however, me and my partner like to treat every Sunday like a "lemonade Sunday". No, I don't mean we drink every Sunday... Despite the weather, or how we feel, we try and treat Sunday as a happy day, a day to relax and feel good, and enjoy our time together. How we do it varies from week to week, but in cold, miserable, wet Manchester, it's nice to just pretend, just once a week, that the Sun does actually still exist (believe me, I've heard that rumour many times).
I think this Sunday I am going to do some baking. Lemon cupcakes sound quite nice, don't you think??
