BBQ Time

As predicted by the weather people, today was a glorious day. Bright and sunny with not too much wind and without being overpoweringly hot either. After yesterday's vigorous activities we all slept in rather late. We checked up with Wayne and Vicky, who we had planned to meet on the beach for a BBQ. We were on.

We went to Countdown in Bayfair and scored a large amount of shopping and various salad and bread related nosebag for the BBQ. We went to Farmer Jones Meat Market and picked up some BBQ steak, and some burgers.

Down to Wayne & Vicky, who live much closer to the mount than we do, and just yards from the beach. Mount Maunganui beach has several permanent barbecues which are free for anyone to use and are gas powered. You just press the button, the gas lights and it runs for 8 minutes before you need to press again. These worked like a charm, all the food was done to perfection and was consumed immediately. The rest of the afternoon was spent lazing on the beach, soaking up the sun and feeling a little too fat. Roll on summer.

The kids go back to school tomorrow, so we're going to have an early start which may come as a shock after today's lie in.
