We assume that's why the Girl was heaving in the wee small hours, anyway - she'd been at a friend's cook-out yesterday afternoon. The upshot was that she had to have the day off school, even though by this morning she was perfectly ok again.
But we had a good time, finishing a sewing project, playing games etc. Intermittently I popped outside to tend to the pool, which was opened this morning. Not unlike the Girl, it started out dispiritingly green, but just like her it rallied after only a few hours. It should soon be swimmable (by penguins at least - boy-oh-boy it's cold!).
Yes, BBQs are a menace. One of the girls uncles experienced something similar when he was younger.I avoid BBQ food as much as possible,although I have eaten food cooked outdoors when I cooked it myself!
