Birthday happenings

Why is it that when your birthday falls in the middle of June it is still not safe to plan for a birthday barbeque??! Yesterday was not my birthday, the real thing was earlier in the week, but a few weeks ago (when the weather was warm and sunny) I planned for an evening of barbeque food and games up at the park; a joint birthday party for me and a friend whose birthday falls next week. On Thursday as the school teddy bear's picnic was taking place indoors I began to doubt whether we would be able to have a barbeque after all.... And so it rained. We rearranged ourselves, rang around and went for a nice meal in a pub instead! It was lovely. I don't go out with friends often enough and should do it more. Thank you to those who came, it was lovely to spend time with you!
