The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
It’s a beautifully warm weekend. The oldies are here and there are major plans to revamp bits of the garden. Both the gazebo and the BBQ are going to get a lot of use :-) My job so far, besides being the chef and generally keeping out of the way has been to keep everybody topped up with fluids, high-octane and otherwise.
Although I’ve been BBQing for the past few weeks, it’s time to come to the realization that my current BBQ is slowly dying. The burners are a bit unreliable, the hood is fairly burned through, the side tables are showing signs of woodrot. It’s been a trusty little grill, but its time has unfortunately come.
Scottsdales was having a promotion that we couldn’t refuse. Katy bought me a new BBQ as an advanced birthday present, I bought us a gazebo that we could use as a shaded area in the height of summer and we’ll be getting a £100 voucher that will probably be used to buy a chimenea :)
And to top it all off, I’ve found an on-line retailer of exotic meats at decent prices. I’ve purchased some bison mince, some venison mince, some kangaroo mince, some wild boar mince and a couple of venison and bison steaks.
So, with these new purchases, it’s no wonder that it’s going to piss it down with rain for the foreseeable future :D
