After waiting all through the summer for some weather, yesterday we capitalised on the stretch of nice weather there's in Dublin (by nice I mean, not raining) and went for a BBQ. I tried out some new stuff on the bbq. Garlic bread wrapped in foil, jacket potatoes stuffed with bacon and cheddar cheese, chicken coated with olive oil, Worcester sauce, garlic, some thyme and mustard seeds, a healthy piece of steak marinated with bbq sauce , onions, garlic, meat spices, loads of pepper and olive oil. The highlight for the folks at the table were the jacket potatoes stuffed with bacon. They were up to Slovak and Polish standards – a friend of ours got two new friends with her.

I was in one of those boisterous very explicit moods. Was good fun. At least we’re making getting our return for investment on the bbq set after not being able to use it throughout all the summer.

On a slightly different note, I got a (return) ticket for Luxembourg for November.
