The Barbecue of the Year

On Thursday we did some shopping for the barbecue in Flemings with Stephanie and we got most of what we needed. Paula came over to the flat afterwards and we made a steak dinner and it was fantastic even if I do say so myself. Paula headed back home after that. I went to Tesco on Friday and bought Paula an alarm clock as she said her phone was very unreliable as an alarm. She had a doctors appointment in the evening so she picked me up from the library and headed to Emyvale. We headed back to her house for dinner then.

Saturday it was a horrible day weather wise. We got a few things ready for the barbecue. I was working from twelve to four so Paula left me into town and collected me later. That evening I watched the third/fourth place play off while Paula headed to Patricias Fathers wake. Mairead was over too and we all sat chatting for a while and Ger, Kevin and Sean went to wrights with Chris for a few drinks.

Sunday was barbecue day and Paula was at mass in the morning. The bouncy castle and marquee were being put up when I was getting up and I played with James and the girls for a while. Eventually it was time to start the cooking and Bridget started it off but I was on cooking duty for the rest of the day. Eventually I got something to eatand the Louth and Meath Leinster final was the main talking point. The World Cup Final was on in the evening but it was a boring match just as I had predicted. Thankfully the rain stayed away and everyone had a great day. I didn't even get to sleep on the couch so I slept on Paulas floor instead.

I was back at work this evening and we had Brian's anniversary mass in Glennan. We were out at Patricias for a while too for some tea. I'm back in Paulas house tonight too and working at one tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it will go quickly!
