• Barbefail yesterday. Bought sardines, mackerel and whole load of veg for a beach barbecue. One of our party was bringing the barbecue. We arrived at the chosen spot around 12 after a short delay due to toddler projective vomiting all over the car en route. The person bringing the barbecue didn't turn up until 3 by which time, the kids had resorted to eating dry bread, the cool boxes were warm, the fish was off and my daughter had started vomming again. We left just as our mates were throwing cheap burgers on the lighter-fuel stink of recently lit disposable grills.
