The last day of holidays at the seaside has come, and I am not happy about it, but I am postponing those feelings to tomorrow. Yesterday I went to a medieval festival that I have been looking for for the whole year. I went years ago and loved it, and this time around I loved it even more. Everyone in the town was wearing period costumes, the food was amazing, people were working in the street making ceramic, binding books, weaving, baking bread, it was amazing. You could stop and people would talk to you and exaplain what they were doing. My first stop was to the weapons tent where I got some explainations on period swords (beloved) as well as other weapons. The music was absolutely amazing, I love the sound of drums and people dancing in the streets and parading. There was even a road full of fortune tellers, it was magical. I really hope that in the future I'll get to come back to this festival because it's an absolute delight everytime. Today on the other hand was a beach day. It was way too hot for my liking especially in the morning, and mosquitoes keep bothering me, but at the end of the day I managed to relax and get some more reading done.

Chill hobbit summer activities of the past few days:

Braiding people's hair

Walking in the streets of a town that is suddely gone back to older times (at this medieval festival they try to cover up everything modern, so you don't see signs and electronic stuff, and there's oil lamps and candles all around the town)

Really enjoying food

Sharing a cup of green tea with my dad

Listening to an owl as soon as it starts to get dark

Finishing Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King

Listening to new podcast episodes

Walking in the sea water for the last time of this year

Saying a mental thank you and goodbye to this place I have spent so many summers in and I probably won't come back to

entering the final days of summer and I’m torn between being excited to start grad school and being terrified of all the new things

all in all, it’s been a good summer. It’s been a little chaotic, a lot of fun, and less stressful than I’d anticipated and I find it as comforting as ever to see how each season in life seems to be better than the last

not today though, today was evil because I cut open a mango I’ve had for two (2) weeks and it wasn’t even close to ripe. Devastating
