Thanks for all the cards and bottles of wine. We had a nice evening drinking and eating, and me worrying about the old bar-b-que and the coals falling through.

Thanks to the person who closed the patio door. In the light of the next morning we could clearly see where my forehead and nose impacted the glass door and left grease marks. Niiice.

The fish have got some anti-bacterial treatment so hopefully the swollen fish will get better. Cheers for the diagnosis Louise. (Someone from Dorset Koi Keepers might be coming around to have a look and see if they can help)

Jess, did you get enough sweets then? They seem to go down well. I did start off cooking some spare ribs and forgot all about them. Only saw them sitting on the BBQ rack when I lifted the lid the next morning. We were starving as well at night and had to revert to the Haribos.

Don't worry for those people that didn't manage to take a decorative plate from the walls, they will be wrapped and handed out at the next weddings, birthdays and so on. You will not escape.
