Hello to all on this beautiful sunny morning.
Yesterday was one of those days, well one of a few really, but yesterday topped them all. Nothing very dramatic really, it just seemed it yesterday.
Last week we bought a gas bbq, not a big all singing all dancing one, just a small one big enough for the 3 of us. Nothing could be easier to set up, hubby did all no problem. So far so good until we came to buy the gas yesterday to use it. Instructions in very bold writing use Propane gas only NOT PATIO GAS.
OK armed with this info off we set to buy said gas, arrived and the regulator needed for a propane gas bottle isn't the one on our bbq hubby says, so we come home to check (6 mile round trip). No the regulator on our bbq is guess what it's for PATIO GAS. LOL.
Off we go again sure of what we need to do, buy a new regulator so we can use our lovely brand new shiny toy. Said item promptly purchased and gas bottle so we can now use our lovely new bbq. BUT the cost of the gas and the new regulator came very close to the cost of the bbq in the first place.
Never mind at last we eventually sat down to eat our first dinner cooked on our lovely new gas bbq. the only meal hubby has enjoyed cooking for the last 8 months.(he took over the cooking last year when it became impossible for me to be able to stand long enough to prepare and cook a meal).
I can now manage to prepare a sandwich lol. Oh just had a thought does this mean from now on until winter or beyond we will be eating bbq EVERY DAY.
I'm pretty sure everyone has days like mine, just wanted to post a more lighthearted blog than I have recently.
Love to you all and hope we all get more good days, enjoy the weather and don't forget the sun screen.
