{tuesday’s top 5} all about summer

I know, I know, it’s Wednesday. I think. Have to remind myself several times a day what day it actually it is. And frankly, I am running about a day behind in things anyway at the moment. I blame the holidays. And summer.

So today, we’re having a summer fling, for whether you are at home or travelling. Summer has  made a rather late appearance to the our part of the world but for our northern friends, you can still enjoy a taste of summer with these five ideas.

1. Too many mosquitoes ~ there’s an app for that
2. Make a Gin Gimlet
3. And top it with a pretty parasol
4. Accompany it with some tasty salads from Shutterbean
5. And then send a  postcard telling everyone what a great time you are having  ~ printable from frolic

And as a bonus ~ hold an outdoor movie night
