Insomnia / Indigestion

I didn't sleep very well last night, but I think it may have been down to the gargantuan amounts of dead animals that I ate during our evening BBQ. Sorry, vegetarians, for the way I worded that, but it is the truth, isn't it?

It felt so Summery over the weekend that it finally felt like we were in the correct season, and it finally felt like we should be acting like it is Summer. So we had a walk at the beach, a play and a paddle with the boys, and then I just simply couldn't resist the urge to fire up the old barbie and cook and eat outside. The one thing I miss about my days in the supermarket trade is the lovely discount card I had. I used to be able to stock up on a load of stuff from the butchery department without worrying about the prices, but these days it costs a bit more to pig out and give the family a feast. But sod it, we're both working and we all love food, so why not splurge on an edible treat every now and then?
So we had minted lamb kebabs, soy-coated chicken strips, spicy chicken wings, succulent Aberdeen Angus burgers, and some rather delicious pork and apple sausages. All washed down with a marvellous, refreshing, non-alcoholic fruit punch that Philippa found the recipe for online.
And it just felt great to be doing it, enjoying it, and wallowing in the warmth. It has felt like Winter has lasted for about nine months, and we finally seem to have arrived in nice weather.
And apologies again to any vegetarians for all the meat mentions.
And don't feel too bad for me about the discount card thing - I was still using it six months after I left the company, so I certainly got plenty of use out of it....
