About 36c here today. Mowed the lawn at 8am, went to market, sat in the shade for a bit, then siesta, and then into the piazza for an aperitivo or two before the evening barbecue.

I am doing the first barbecue of the year here today as the wearther has changed for the better. Guests have been invited.

I have just looked at metcheck.com which informs me it should start pissing it down at about the time I am due to light the match!  happy088

Do what my BiL did. Have your BBQ under a Gazebo (Only £49.99 from most Argos stores).

Anywhoooo the BiL managed to position his BBQ in such a way as to melt the plastic rods supporting one corner of the gazebo which then collapsed onto the BBQ setting the nylon cover aflame.  whistle:


I larfed a lot when news reached me.

Enjoy it mate. Something I used to do with my Dad as often as I could (Most Sundays in fact for several years) and now he's not there to go with somehow it's just not the same pleasure.

I was on the beach last year when some people turned up with a plastic table and chairs and one of those little disposable tin-foil barbecues...

No doubt you have already guessed what they did - it melted a rectangular hole right through!  point:

We used to do this back in 89/90/91 (Roasties or cheese cubes depending on the weather and what we had in the kitchen ~ did frogs legs a few time too) when we had pubs but the snoopers from the council "public health" dept tried to stop all pubs in the area doing this as they said it was not a hygienic way to serve food.  ::)

Indeed... it was fun sitting there watching them set it up, light it... and then try to catch it!  happy001

Tel is in the saloon bar with his dad - I am outside reading the paper. Weather is glorious today :-)

Lots of scantily clad flesh about - most of it pretty good!

Bugger. Almost brought a tear to the eye that did. As much as I sometimes resented it dragging myself down to Hayling Island once a fortnight for years and taking the old bugger out for a Sunday lunch... dare I say, I miss it.  sad24:

He'd misbehave; he'd piss himself before getting to the loo; he'd leer at the waitresses; he'd say the food wasn't up to much and then have a spotlessly clean plate; he'd smile and the kiddies and then make them cry adjusting his false teeth  eeek:

We'd sit in the car watching the seagulls and the far distant ships listening to Any Answers on the radio. Then he'd say something like "That Tony Blair's a right tit isn't he?"

followed by "It's strange when you fire the ship's guns over the horizon because you can only see about 25 miles at sea because of the curvature of the earth..."

We've lost some good 'uns.
