My wish list for summer.

This list seems to have got a lot longer, even though I have been out shopping just to actually have some summer clothes to wear... Which seems a bit ironic because the weather is like mid-winter. But oh-well! Here are just some of the random/useful things I really want to buy over the summer.

I want to get a journal/ sketch book, something that I can take with me on holidays and have pages that work with watercolours and inks. I have always had sketch books and notepads, but I never really finish them, or stick to the same ideas. So it would be nice to finally get to finish one with the spare time I have - and a fresh start, by getting rid of all the old notebooks I have had with sketches in (recycling some pieces if I like them) so I can fully focus on just one, rather than random pieces scattered everywhere!

I want to get some sort of canvas rucksack, just because I want to have a new bag for sixth form- mines slowly breaking.  And I think it will be nice to finally move on with the stuff I originally had in secondary and go for a completely fresh start!

Yes, I know I must look like a seven year old. But these roller skates are just amazing.  For part of my bucket list I wanted to learn how to ice skate, and because it just takes so much effort going all the way to an ice skating rink, hiring crappy skates to then only be bashed around by little kids with no balance (slightly hypercritical, seeing as I have no balance myself) and only be given an hour of this. Is really hard to learn if you only go once in a blue moon, so I thought that these would teach me in the spare time I have, as well as having fun - clearly the pink aspect of them- and actually getting outside and doing something productive; I've got way too lazy! 

I never stick my original plans when shopping- but maybe this year is going to be different! Curious to see what other people want on their wish list this summer; mine isn't that summery because of the lack of sun, maybe someone who has a more positive outlook on the weather would like to share their shopping lists!
