The Melon Incident

We had my birthday BBQ on Sunday (a few days in advance of the actual event). It was, once again, an enjoyable affair. This time we were exceptionally lucky with the weather - it rained before and after the cooking, but was dry for a couple of hours at the key time.

The one small fly in the ointment came in the middle of the afternoon when Funsize sought out some melon to eat, only to discover it was all gone. She was consequently very upset, not least because she hadn't actually had any. Fortunately, some kind soul made a trip to Morrisons yesterday and bought some for her to enjoy.

As always, we over-catered for the BBQ. In truth, I'd rather have too much than too little, but it does seem that we'd be better off without quite so much excess. I'll need to look at that, as my calculations should have been okay, but this proved not to be accurate. Still, I'll be having a BBQ at work before too long, so perhaps there is scope for using up some of the leftovers.
