First and Last

Sunday saw the first Glasgow Derby of the season (there is no "Old Firm", there is only Celtic and a bunch of animals) and the last BBQ of the season.

Having the last 9 months pretty much consisting of doing up our flat has had some significant bonuses.  Very near the top of this list is turning a scruffy yard into a garden.  Rina and I gambled and invited some people over on Sunday (The Bear, Fra, Jenny, Alistair and Jade).  We were mostly lucky with the weather - what little rain there was ended up being kept off us by the tree at the end of the garden (a small benefit in comparison to the amount of conkers and leaves it drops in to be cleaned up!).  I made BBQ sauce - from scratch. It was awesome.  I also got a wee bit drunk - but that's all fun.

As for the football game.  It was shit. 2-1 up at half-time followed by a second half of complete capitulation by Celtic.  That's all I'll say about that right now.

So the BBQ has been put away, the outdoor furniture washed and stowed and the garden has said its farewell to summer.  And a great summer it was.
