Yay, I finally joined the queens of the beaches and look awesome in my swimsuit all day long, under a long row of pink fluffy palm trees – not. Is there somebody else in the city, pretending it’s neither holiday season nor a heatwave, or am I the last one who didn’t get that sunbathing is on the agenda and work has been cancelled? If it was a message to all I’m sorry: You must have missed to put my address on the mailing list.
Yesterday morning I sat on the bus, still very sleepy since finding the way to dreamland is not so easy in this heat. I asked myself why there are so many empty seats. Then realisation hit me: It’s ’cause everybody else decided to have adventures far away from their office desks. I imagine most beaches, islands and hotels must be more crowded than offices right now.
Did you make it out of the ordinary too? Well done if yes! If your sipping a cocktail and watching the waves, please think of me for a second. I promise I’ll do the same when my time to escape has come. But right now the piles of tasks everybody left behind are calling my name in their sweet, whispering voices. Just a second, I’m coming.
To be honest, I’m not the stereotypical beach girl anyway and if I have the choice between beach and a cool museum or discovering a new city I choose the not-beach-option most of the time. My sun allergy says thanks. But guess what: I do buy a new swimsuit or bikini every now and then, seeing myself chilling in a pink pool in my enormous flamingo floatie in that instagrammable hotel.
So here I am, playing beach day in my neon green vintage Versace on the terrace. The medusa on my back smiles when I tell her: No, this time this is not going to be the only use of my new swimsuit, this time we will make it to the beach! Get ready: We’re coming, Medusa and me! Just give me time to work through some piles of papers first.
