First evening bbq of thr year yesterday. Proper lumpwood charcoal always adds something to a meal (often carbon), but despite a mixture of wine and beer vanishing down the hatch, food was cooked to the right colour, the chicken wasn't dry, and no human was injured during the making of this meal.
Successful family time together as the sun went down; an especially welcome break for Child #2, otherwise busy with GCSE revision.
Some logs went on the embers and flamed-up to light the patio rather than resorted to harsh LED lighting, and then i demonstrated more of my magic (making alcohol disappear) until suddenly, the trampoline seemed a very good idea! Blimey, utterly exhausting.
Once the burning logs had reduced down to embers, the marshmallows and toasting forks came out. Absolutely splendid.
Today: mowing
