This or That: Summer Edition!

It feels like summer, smells like summer and sounds like it too! Tis the season of sunshine, sandals and sipping something cold in the garden while pretending not to notice the ever growing laundry pile indoors! I thought it would be fun to play a little game of This or That, this time it's the Summer Edition!

Ice cream cone or ice lolly?

It depends on how hot it is. If it is just hot I would choose and ice cream but if it is scorching outside I would go for an ice lolly. Something icy always cools me down. I am not fussy what type as long as it's cold.

Sunbathing or shade lounging?

Shade lounging definitely! I used to love sunbathing, I remember being a teenager and my friends and I would cover ourselves in baby oil and soak in the sun. Damaging our skin was the last thing on our minds back then and I feel lucky that my skin has held up quite well. Now I hate sitting in the sun, I just feel sweaty and sticky. It is no fun at all. Give me the shade anytime!

Water park or amusement park?

Amusement park as long as I don't have to ride any rollercoasters. I have been on some big and fast one's in the past but I seem to have got more fearful the older I have got.

Ice cream van or seaside chippy?

Ohh! Fish and chips by the sea is something special! I don't know if it's because I'm out in the fresh air or eating with my hands that makes the difference but fish and chips somehow taste better by the sea.

Coconut scent or mango scent?

Coconut! That just screams summer to me. I am using a coconut body lotion at the moment and I love it.

Stay in the UK or travel abroad?

Stay in the UK. I have never been out of the UK and I don't really feel like I want to. I know what's what here and I am not a fan of hot weather so I am happy staying on home soil.

Sausages or burgers on the BBQ?

This is a really tough choice, I love both. At this moment in time I think I would choose a burger as long as it's not too well done.

Slushie or smoothie?

Slushie. I rarely have slushies but I do love them on a red hot day! I want that brain freeze feeling while it cools me down.

Street food or bring your own picnic?

If we are going out for the day I would say street food. I don't want to be carrying a bag around with a picnic in but at the same time I do love a picnic. There's nothing better than a scotch egg or mini sausage roll.

Corn on the cob or coleslaw?

Coleslaw. I like corn on the cob but it is a faff to eat and messy too.

Sand between your toes or water up your nose?

Both sound like some sort of torture but I think I would go with water up my nose. Sand between my toes seems to be so hard to get rid of!

Summer playlist: 80s, 90's hits or current chart?

Definitely 90's hits. I was a teenager in the 90's and have so many memories associated with songs. Spice Girls Wannabe, Livin la vida Loca, The Macarena, Mmm Bop, Barbie Girl, I want it that way, Genie in a bottle and so on and so on. They all seem like cheesy, pure pop songs but that is what I like.

Slip 'n slide or bouncy castle?

Now I would say a bouncy castle when I was a child a slip and slide. My brother and I made one when we were kids from plastic tarpaulin and pinching the washing up liquid out of the kitchen, my mother was not amused.

Seaside rock or candyfloss?

Candyfloss! Whenever we visit a fair or a local event which has stalls selling sweet treats I always get myself some candyfloss.

Big floppy hat or sunglasses?

I would choose sunglasses! I rarely wear a hat of any sort in the summer but refuse to leave the house without sunglasses!
