Today was Hamish's 24th birthday! Boy is he getting old. Even I'm starting to lose track of how old he is these days! Maybe I'm just getting old and forgetful.
Anyway we didn't do much in the morning as Hamish went into the city to get his exam results and Aonghas went back to his old school to watch one of his old teachers to get presented some award. I was left at home to do nothing...well that's not completely true, I washed the dishes!
When everyone came home though, we decided we'd finally have a go at having a barbeque in the backyard! Our mum had just recently bought one of those round charcoal BBQ sets, so we tried putting it together while our mum went out to buy some food.
Once we got it finished and our mum got back, we chucked in some charcoal and some newspaper and got a fire going. In hindsight newspaper wasn't the best thing to use as we had pieces of paper flying everywhere! Next time we'll have to use proper fire starter or whatever it's called.
We eventually got the fire going and started cooking!
The food was pretty good! We managed to cook some sausages, chicken hearts and vegetables before it got too late and the heat died down.
We'll have to do BBQs more often this season! Next time we'll probably start it earlier.
