Roasting the Balcony

It is always a bit of a shock adjusting when one gets back from a holiday; even more so when you leave 40C temperatures for a grim 15C, and people are gasping at your newly found colour, so it was nice to have the weekend to ease back into it. Via a trip down the road to see Fran and Thea, my first decent coffee in weeks with Nadya and Joe, Adam, Miriam, Nikki and I spent the rest of the day having a BBQ on our balcony/scaffolding. It was brilliant!! 24 of Nikki's delicious meat patties with a feta suprise, lamb chops, Carribean rice, and Pimms, it was phenomenal!! We had enough time to eat several burgers and lamb chops before we had to move the party inside and cook from Adam and Miriam's bedroom (giving them a lovely barbequed scent to sleep with that night). Our house has looked like a charred piece of steak for months, and the scaffolding has only been adding to the glorious image, (our disposable BBQ added a bit of charr to the scaffolding also) so you've gotta work with what you got!
