Lazy Day - Jacob Here, BarBQ...Kinda, MoFO, Ripping Up The Allotment

We didn't really do very much today. Jacob was round and he and Nat spent loads of time upstairs on the X-Box before actually coming out into the Sun to shoot each other, and everyone else, with their water guns. Deb bought a "one-off" BarBQ from ASDA and we had beef burgers, turkey burgers, lamb thingamajigs on sticks; I made two veggie kebabs from onion, pepper, mushrooms and tomatoes for me and Deb. The little BarBQ was quite effective; the turkey burgers, however, were far too thick and so the outsides got incinerated whilst the centres remained uncooked. We solved this problem by cross slicing each burger and making two thin burgers. After we'd done this the turkey burgers were rather nice. The kebabs were a bit hit and miss and next time I'll give more thought to the size of the individual items. Shantelle had gone to York, for the day(!), to see relatives so Han played pestered Nat and Jacob instead.
At one point the kids were stupid enough to mess with Deb:

BE AFRAID 

BE VERY VERY AFRAID

Don't Mess With This Mother 

OR 

Your Arse Will Be Grass!!!

Later that evening, when it was cool enough, Deb and I went to the allotment to water our "small" area of planting. While we were there we had a look at the covered areas where weeds had grown on top. These,in the main, had rooted into the lumps of earth I'd thrown there and were easy to rip off the covering. We had a deeply satisfiying ten minutes doing just this and afterwards the allotment didn't look quite so jungle like.
