1st BBQ of 2006 - robert, 22/04/2006, 23:39
Last night saw us having the first BBQ of 2006, a true sign of summer. We had it on Dores beach (of course) and it was a very good night. Thanks to Cuth who put his foot down and got everyone together, 5 cars worth of people attended. We all gathered at Tesco 24 at about 7 and went for a big shop. We filled a trolley with burgers, sausages, bacon, soft drinks, beer, sweets, crisps - you name it - and headed to the checkout. It came to about £50 in total which isn't bad considering the huge amount we bought. Everyone put in £5 to cover food and fuel costs for the drivers, this worked well.We headed to Dores eventually and once there, walked along the beach to the same spot a few of us had a BBQ the year before.

There's still a few issues I need to fix however; one being that the outer border doesn't expand with the left hand menu, resulting in shorter pages having the left menu spilling over the bottom. Simon seems to have some ideas about how to overcome this so I might have a stab later. It took me long enough scratching my head over CSS to get it to work properly in all browsers as it is.
I could do with being a bit less tired. Every night I was up late over the easter long weekend, going to sleep about 4 or so and waking up about lunch time. This was fine until today when I had to get up at 06:30 as naturally I couldn't get to sleep till about 4. Oh well, I bought a can of Irn Bru 32 a while ago and it's been sitting on my desk unopened, think I might need it. The weekend was spent mainly chilling out and not doing an awful lot. I went out on sunday night and met up with ...
