Can You Just....

It's amazing what can be achieved when there is the pressure of an impending visit. We are hosting the August meeting of the Book Club I belong to, so, the place has to be tidied up a bit. The first thing was 'can you just build a Barbeque?' (You ladies talk amongst yourselves whilst I write a bit for the men.) Isn't it amazing how women have no concept of the engineering and design work involved in 'just throwing something together'.

So, I've dutifully cobbled together a Barbeque, but we'll have to try it out tonight to make sure it doesn't collapse or the stones crack with the heat!

The next thing was to remove stones and rubble from beside the steps to the Breakfast patio. I must admit that this is something I've been meaning to do for some time.

There is a list of more 'tidying up' jobs for tomorrow, but we're off for aperos with friends over the other side of the hill.

In the middle of the afternoon, our neighbour Michel arrived after a mornings fishing and presented us with 4 trout. This is what will be going on the Bbq. We are so lucky with our neighbours.



Sh! but have you noticed the glass of wine that all good chefs seem to need?
