BBQ Time

I was doing nothing at all out on my veranda yesterday afternoon when one of the usual suspects called and asked if it was time for a BBQ. It was. So I jumped on the bike and pedalled the 14 kilometres to Villa Blåmes in Norrby. The third suspect, Jujja showed up in his old Volvo as we were carrying up the furniture from the storage room. He brought with him Bruichladdich whisky that could only be bought on site in Scotland, and some other spirits as well. I was in charge of the grill and I lit it up while the others took the old Volvo to the store as we were out of beer, ice cream, strawberries and crispbread for the salmon and aioli starter meal. Then we enjoyed three different sausages, fries, and a salad. The coma hit as it always does here, so we drank more whisky and Cointreau liqueur before finishing off the meal with Belgian strawberries and vanilla ice cream. The only major issue was the total lack of coffee. Not sure if I can survive that again! The evening continued with more food coma and story telling. Mostly from Jujja about his Scotland travels and birding at Gotland. The bike ride home during sunset was quite nice thanks to the warm Summer evening and possibly helped by the alcohol consumed. I finished the evening looking at an episode of Unforgotten while enjoying a mug of coffee.
