Windmills

The weather, as it is today makes me want to go outside, find a deserted field and dance. It's windy today, and I can feel potential floating through my window. The weather brings back memories of making a fortress out of hay bails when I was about thirteen. That was probably the second best summer I've ever had, shortly following this summer that has just happened. Life back then was new and exciting, the freedoms of being a teenager were just beginning to show through, and I remember going out every single day, and spending from nine am to five pm outside in the sun and the wind. Today has the perfect weather for windmills.

I've always had a fascination with windmills, I'm not talking about the buildings with sails, I'm talking about the ones you can hold in your hand that twirl in the slightest breeze. I'm not sure why I've always liked them, perhaps my inner child is still captivated by the shiny colours and bright stalks. I know that whenever I walk past somewhere selling them I wish I could get one. Maybe they're akin to my love of wind chimes and mobiles. For those of you who have never actually visited my room, the ceiling is choc-full of the dangling beauties.

I recall getting my first windmill on Animal Crossing. I ran around with that thing forever after. I probably still have the cartridge somewhere. I also remember catching my first shark on that game, and seeing the tarantula and freaking out when it stung me.

Thinking about windmills takes me back to a particular conversation with Mark too. I have a windmill attached to my wall and I remember getting it out to show him on web cam and blowing it so it spun. It was windy that day too, and I held it up to show him just how much.

This summer I saw many windmills at stalls in Malta, and thinking back makes me wish I had purchased one. Something fun to remember the summer by. Of course, I have many objects that already do that, and some of them are quite fun, but I would've liked a windmill. Still, regrets aside, I did have an amazing time, and I know, without a doubt, that the summer rates highly, if not the highest.

Anyway, that's it for now. Have a great windy day :D
