A Playful Puppy

[lupestripe]

On Sunday we had our first BBQ of the year in sunny Stockport, where we celebrated Baloki's birthday. There were premium burgers, snausages (puppies like snausages), kebabs and nibbles (such as Chipz, Tesco own brand Pringles) with lots of high strength premium beer and a sickly but gorgeous white chocolate cake for dessert. Lots of fun! The first disposable BBQ didn't work, despite the copious amounts of lighter fluid we put on it, but the crappy one from Poundland did. We had to go and get another one midway through though, a proper one, as the coals weren't lighting at all.

We also met Baloki's neighbour who was looking after her son's sprocker spaniel puppy Bella. Bella was four months old and lots of fun, although she did confuse my foot with food and started to have a nibble. She was very inquisitive and loved the meat we were feeding her. She was very naughty and even tried to steal my burger! She was a lot of fun though and it was great playing with her - for some reason I get on well with puppies. Baloki's neighbour was nice too although she kept falling into the traps some elderly people do, bemoaning things like the youth of today, which is not really true for the vast majority of us. I can understand from where she got this view though and she was very receptive to my counter arguments.

Aside from that, it was great just chilling in the sun with some good friends. Entei-rah, Angela, Patter, Baloki and Miles were all there, the latter playing Japanese style video games a fair bit, which was interesting while Wolfie couldn't drink as he was driving. Silly Wolfie!
