Meat Party

It's been a little while since I've Written on the blog. I'm not losing interest or getting lazy, it's just I don't want to write about any lack of progress or rejections I'm getting. All of which is actually the current status quo
! But as I've written before, nothing worth doing comes easy, so I'm here waiting patiently for that one elusive agent to give me the green light. In the meantime I'm still trying to network and spread the message about my book. You just never know when it may fall onto the right ears. Like over the weekend Halo and Flake got invited to a BBQ- well I did too, but I'm sure they were the main intended guests.

Of course they RSVP'd and made their way over to Acton, London for a glorious party in the garden of a great friend of mine. We came with our shopping bag full of ciders, cheesecake, limes, snacks and dips. Despite the promises of rain and clouds the day turned out to be fantastic. Hot sun graced us with it's presence, and my sister and I lit the fire whilst the boys wondered around the garden sniffing nooks and crannies. This is the first time in 28 years I've ever lit a fire. I don't know if you'e ever used a BBQ that doesn't belong to you, but let me tell you, it's hard work. Grills that don't fit the pit, chicken that burns on contact, burgers falling into the fire.But despite the issues I found solutions to our problems, all I had to do was look around. I wondered over to the oven and got the rack out, I found a fish fry net, unfolded it and spread it across the giant expanse of the pit to add height, and hey presto, burgers didn't fall in any longer, chicken remained a lovely brown. So what I'm trying to say is, whatever difficulties you have, no matter the urgency, something can always be done. You don't have to be a hero and save the grilled meat, but certainly doing nothing shouldn't be an option.

So Halo and Flake enjoyed bread-stick crumbs, slivers of chicken and a sneaky piece of cheese. Memories for me, fun for them and inspiration for the next book.
