40/52 - Summer of Meme

thefridayfive 

1) What did you plant?
Loads! I planted tomatoes, french marigolds, anemones, bunny tail grass, geraniums, begonias, campanula, eunonymus, and calluna. I also planted chocolate cosmos but they didn't grow. Not a bad hit rate overall.

2) What was your favorite summer food?
I cooked loads this summer, working through three different cookbooks and have hardly paused to make anything twice because everything has been so delicious. I have mostly been using Fresh India, East, and the Green Roasting Tin. 

3) What song will remind you of this summer?
Carole King's Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow was one of many songs I woke up with in my head at some point this summer and it took me hours to identify which version of the song I wanted to hear, and finally hit upon it and played it on repeat for half a morning. In reality, there is a wealth of songs for this summer. Some of which are in a Youtube playlist I vaguely curated in the first few months of the pandemic.

4) What was your favorite body of water to be in?
Oh I like this question. Probably my favourite swim of the year was in the lido in Lewes, but the most spectacular was in a local lake which I subsequently discovered you are not supposed to swim in so it was forbidden (and also a bit retrospectively guilty). 

5) What's been your favorite outfit?
I bought a black denim jumpsuit from New Look in early July and it was a rare occasion a jumpsuit actually fitting me and making me feel like a total BAMF when I wore it. I don't think I have any photos of me in it but who cares, I loved it.
