The Friday Five: Summer Things

[smallhobbit]

1) What's your favorite dish to bring to a summer cookout?
If I ever went to summer cookouts, I would take crisps or similar.

2) How much time have you spent outdoors this week?
I've been for a few short walks, looked round son's garden, did zentangles in the sun, walked to the dentist.  No idea how that adds up.  Also hang the washing outside.

3) Where do you set your thermostat?
On the living room wall.

4) How did you learn to swim?
A few odd times of swimming in a local swimming pool, in the pool at secondary school and then at an outdoor pool in, I think, Penzance.

5) How do you avoid overheating?
The house stays relatively cool, so not going out helps.

Nice to have a cool--and a secondary school with a pool!!

We were very fortunate to have the school pool - it was unusual.

A couple of fairly unusual questions there, I suspect an American influence, i.e. summer cookouts. I like your answers though, especially the one for the thermostat.

[smallhobbit]

Yes I really realised it was American based when I read a friend's answers and discovered the thermostat is set for the air con to kick in which is something we don't do. I'm glad you liked my answer :)

I always am confused by thermostat until I realise it must be air conditioning! Summer picnics/cookouts are a nice concept and hopefully our weather will improve for them. :D

[smallhobbit]

Quite - clearly how high we set the thermostat isn't relavent this time of year! Yes, it would be nice to have picnic weather for picnics.

Where do you set your thermostat? On the living room wall. Lol, that is such a dadjoke answer.
