Two-Barbie Weekend

It has been, what you might call, a tw0-barbie weekend. In years to come people might talk of the legendary Summer of '13.

You get some man points for lighting a barbecue - the power of the flames as you squirt on some lighter fluid (almost singeing your eye brows). Then you lose some man points when it goes out again. Then you claw a few back when you get it hot enough to cook a couple of steaks (perfectly, I might add). Then you go into minus points when you have to cook the onions on the gas hob to get it right. Oops.
