FOOTNOTES: Always a sign that the summer season is upon us, are the invitations to barbecues, and one evening this week found me tottering along to a friends’ house, to partake of one of these al fresco occasions. Now experience has taught me to take a few precautions when coping with barbecues. Not least I have found, it is ill-advised to wear anything which is new or has to be dry cleaned. Also stout footwear is necessary, I have ere this, suffered from burnt toes through wearing open sandals to one barbecue. Then there are paper plates. Now I am not good with paper plates. They tend, in my hands, to bend alarmingly with the weight of sausages, etc., and with a drink in the other hand they are almost impossible to control. I did think once of wearing an apron to one do, but decided against it. So I now wear old trousers or shorts, a shirt I should have got rid of years ago, and lace up shoes, (I will not wear trainers at any time). I also lug along a raincoat, as I have dealt with people who refuse to believe it is raining, and continue cooking despite rivulets of water cascading around their feet and expect their guests to do the same. I do not expect the food to be anything remotely like tasty. I have endured blackened pieces of meat, with a wooden stake thrust through them, which, despite my best efforts, I have been unable to identify. All cooked on something resembling a prop from Starship Enterprise. I never cease to be amazed at the complexity of the latest barbecues, which the proud new owner insists on showing me. Gas powered, electric starter, warming grills, all in polished steel, with rows of coloured buttons along the top. I start to wonder why they didn’t just put an extension pipe on their cooker in the kitchen, heave it into the garden and use that. But I say nothing, chew endlessly on the expensive and over cooked piece of meat, keep juggling the bending plate in one hand and the glass in my other hand, and look forward to the late supper waiting for me at home. The company is good, however, and, wonder of wonders, the sun is shining. Have a good week and enjoy yourselves, wherever you wander.
