Two BBQs in A Week

Thursday, 6th Aug, 6.30pm. I've attended a business BBQ organized at W's place, the PA to the CEO of my company. The weather was not very pleasing. It was wet and BBQ has to be done under the garage shelter. Nonetheless, some of my colleagues managed to soak in the swimming pool at her place after several pints of beer. We have delicious supply of BBQ chicken (though I craved for more), lamb, beef and salad. A, also managed the supply of drinks- red and white wine, juices, beers, spirits, juices, crisps and snacks pretty well. W used to own a restaurant, hence organizing such an event at her place was not a mammoth task. Even though we were under the canvas tent which sheltered us from the wind and rain throughout the whole night, we did have a great team building together. Good food, good people, great private place-what could we ask for more?

Saturday,8th Aug, 2pm. After visits to Clapham Junction and Balham, we headed to Elmers End for a friend's BBQ. It was sunny- a brilliant and very rare UK weather, just perfect for a summer BBQ. W and her hubby were generous to host a few of us for this cozy and yet fun time together. Apart from W's colleague, their neighbours also came to join the fun. The food was really good and the fruit dessert and tiramisu were the icing of the day. We then went plum plucking and visited T's house. We took sometime to admire their garden and their Jaguars. They were really a great bunch of people, fun to be with and friendly, really.

Two BBQ's in a week-two different days with two different weather and different bunch of people. It was as if only yesterday that I had the two BBQ; in one day. They say time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself. Indeed, I did have a great time in both the BBQ.
