SPRING INTO SUMMER

Bzzzzzzzzzzzz…………that’s the bumblebee who knows were springing into summer when we’ve lost an hour to fulfil a brighter day and the summer sun is well and truly on its way. So, time to bid farewell to the knits, mitts all those bits and get into something that actually fits. Rainbow tees while showing the knees begin to inject a kaleidoscope of colour into a brighter land whilst you sing along to your favourite band, daytrippin for miles with all around smiles you know your on the right track.
Summer in dear ole Ireland is such a brilliant landscape, the grass is greener with a healthy demeanour and the garden is a splendour of colour the roses are in full bloom and the birdies sing a happy tune. One doesn’t feel the need to cook and instead might just read a good book. Salads and sunshine lead to a healthy slim line and a tan to impress your man.

Clear blue skies promote natural highs and trips to the seaside, splashing by the tide you decide you want to take a swim and let yourself in. Energised your skin dries and look how quick the seagull flies. Jingly chimes you hear nursery ryhmes a colourful van with an ice-cream man and so you splurge and its time to indulge like a dog with a bone you savour your ice-cream cone.
Floating on air without a care this feeling has become too rare so get all your friends in lieu and lets arrange a barbeque, thoughts flounder ah go ahead have that quarter pounder, well you couldn’t say anything sounder except for maybe have a can, yeah that’s definitely the plan and so it began a toast to the summer jam.
Flip floppin theres no stopping the longer days as you drift into a summer haze, blissful walks along the promenade makes you feel glad and lucky, hey you might start to feel like a rookie visit the bookie, no wait that’s abit cookie sticking with lucky hmmmmm go on visit the bookie did someone say nookie… yes, that’s a horse and its never unlucky!
La la la lotion, I aint got no notion of getting burned like the year before when I swore I learned a lesson to emblazon myself in factor 5 or more lets say twenty four even though it blocks my colour a little duller, but its best to stop and think ease in and begin to get what your wishing for and know the score before you look like a burnt whore.
So there goes the busy buzzy bee again collecting its honey, pretty much its terms of money, it doesn’t stop and stings anyone who gets in its way so why not let that be your inspiration this summer do exactly what you want to do, make it taste good and be nice to everyone that you should.

HOW TO AVOID THE HELLISH HANGOVER.

Ok, so lately in my old age hangovers are becoming more frequent and need to be diminished at once! Steps need to be taken in order to avoid the hellish hangover, a little headache in the morning I can handle but if one wakes up feeling superbly gleeful after a heavy night on the tiles you can be sure it is only a matter of time before this wares off and you are transported to hangover hell via the depths of your despair, head pounding, body aching and feeling just horrendously ill. That is when I know the hangover has arrived and not just any hangover, this indeed is the hangover from hell!

In order to avoid this despicable outcome drastic steps have got to be taken :

•  Food glorious food (eating a healthy dose of carbs is essential for soakage)
•  Cut down on alcohol intake (hmmm, not really going to happen , however ordering a pint of water in between  takes could help)
• Choose one type of beverage and stick to it (this is far too sensible, however not drinking vodka and whiskey simultaneously would help)
• Drink water through the night (this is possible, but one needs much reminding.)
• Don’t accept drinks off anyone (this is just plain unrealistic)
• Don’t do shots ( always a fantastic idea at the time )
•  Drink water before bed ( would be lucky to land in the right direction)

So these are some steps that can help in order to prevent a nasty hangover after a great night out, but what if its too late and you did exactly the opposite! Well, your body is going to punish you for ignoring it and you will suffer the outcome of  poisonous alcohol toxins , you need to recover ASAP  and so these are some steps to follow.

•  Drink lots of water to re-hydrate, plus lucozade as your blood sugars are low.
•  Take a shower alternating between hot and cold to re hydrate your body
•  Eat fruit like a banana to replace potassium and an orange for Vitamin C.
•  Take a walk to relieve your senses.
•  Try exercise in the gym to sweat out the poisonous toxins. 
•  Be a glutton - eat chocolate, some salt and vinegar crisps washed down with  a can of coke. (your body is crying out for sugar and salt so its allowed)
•  If all else fails try a curer! ( new alcohol will numb out old alcohol) 

So there you have it the essential guide to beating the baddie & battering that hangover over the head, now who’s up for getting drunk?
