le weekend
May. 12th, 2008 01:16 amIt's currently hotter at 1am here - 18 degrees - than it is in Edinburgh tomorrow duruing the day, acording to the forecast.
I may have slight sunstroke:)
Yesterday was first proper BBQ of the year - my very own, not Eeva's for once tho she and Simon came! Nick helped start the barbie, I carried on, and Gerritt brought king prawns and fish kebabs and SQUID!!! which no one ate :) so I got to try throwing a prawn on the barbie, sheila (mostly they fall between the racks onto the coals - bah!) and Emily brought the best carrot cake I've EVER had. Add my chicken marinated in chili and lime, lamb burgers, and sausidges and Eeva's patented fab potato salad, and I think it was pretty fine :) The kids even played nicely together - aww.
Ooh no I'm hungry now!.
That's Mark and Emily's baby btw!!
Today , got catfood and then POOOL. British people are mad - they all go home at 4-5pm. It's so lovely at 6ish when the light slants oddly and everything is mellow and quiet.
It's also far hotter btw than either Madison OR Montreal. This weather is insane! I keep wanting to buy sun dresses..
Oh, Dr Who. Q good, but I wish for such a major canon addition they'd got a Moffat or Cornell on board - writing was barely but serviceable. OTOH I thought everyone acted their socks off - DT is SO much better when he's being quiet and grave rather than mad and gurney!! ( spoilers )
