We've had some high temperatures this past week,
touching on 40 C. Just a little bit hot for us southerners.
It has cooled down somewhat today with a bit of rain
but not enough to do much for the ground or gardens.
But before that sort of heat set in we managed to have
a barbecue over at our son's home last weekend.
Getting the fire started, one to light and several supervisors.
Son in law hadn't arrived yet so couldn't stand there with
the others giving helpful, or not, advice :)
The pohutokawa (red flowering tree) in the
background was beautiful, in full bloom.
Daughter in law and visitors from Japan - they haven't
cottoned on yet that the blokes do the cooking
and the girls leave them to it. I can see there is some
educating to be done. But never mind,
the food was delicious.
Relaxing on the deck. Youngest daughter and her
hubby came over too. Our eldest daughter was away
for the weekend so couldn't make it, and as it is school
holidays the kids were away doing what kids do with
their mates during the summer.
Later we adjourned to the garage to play pool and darts
and as our new Japanese friend had just celebrated
a birthday we had a birthday cake for her
much to her surprise and pleasure.
Brother and sister facing off. He has just knocked her
off the table, up until then she had taken on all comers
and won. Oh dear :) I didn't realise I'd caught them like this
until I saw the photo and it just looks so funny.
Well that's it for this week.
See you next time.
