Part time summer comper

Is it just me? but during this recent spell of proper summer weather I don't tend to spend much time on the pooter doing comps when there's skin to tanned, garden to be tended, fish to be caught and trails to be walked.
All I can say is look out when the weather breaks because I will be making up for lost time.
Comping is fun, Winning is even better!

  • I'm exactly the same :) Spending time with the kids, walking, camping, sitting in the garden, picnics... I do miss winning though :)

    Totally agree wolverine, I know there are some compers who take their laptops with them on holiday and the likes but I just couldn't do it! I've loved the summer so far - drinking outside, eating outside, generally being outside... :D That's probably why I've hardly won a thing! :rotfl:

    (Although thinking about it, I am on MSE most days....

    I'm probably just not putting enough effort in!)

    I hate the hot weather and I am probably the whitest person in my town lol! I hide indoors to keep cool and comp! I had a good month last month and this month has started with a fair few WEMS already! So being a snow-white woman has paid off!

    Exactly the same (bar the fishing...) can't bear to be inside if it's sunny!

    Not won much lately though because of it!

    I don't tend to comp in the evenings though - when it has cooled down I don't mind sitting out in the garden or conservatory with my wine to watch the soaps!

    I'm the same as I like to sit outside in the sun and also have people over more often, go to festivals, camping and on holidays :)
