Am BBQ King!

Well, OK, so maybe that's an exaggeration, but I can report I've successfully thrown my very first barbecue. With thanks to Matt B for his construction of 'put pole A into slot C' type things and patience in the barbecue acquisition process. And also many thanks to Matt B, Kat & Tom for being willing guinea pigs, risking life and stomach, and putting faith in my abilities. Luckily their faith was rewarded (by luck I feel) and everyone survived (I hope, not really checked in with them since!).

So, if it stops raining, many more BBQs to come this summer! Oh, and a big thanks to my dad who'll probably never read this, but whom without his help I wouldn't have a garden fit for the job (think tropical rain forest of grass and weeds). Though I'm not sure the cats are too happy with it as they can no longer stalk around the undergrowth and hide from potential prey. I'm sure they'll develop new tactics before long though.

And with new sofa coming tomorrow (thanks again to Matt B for his help in dispatching of the old one), I've got the drive to actually sort out the whole downstairs area of the house, make it presentable and have people over more often, yay!

Tasteful dinner parties, etc, here I come. Hopefully without any blue string soup though, but don't hold your breath.
