Only in Portugal - part 29934 - or whatever it is

We decided on a bbq yesterday, as we knew the weather was going to be a bit not so nice for the rest of the week.

Had a beer each, as you do, got everything ready, Grumpy lit the bbq - both sat outside, in the back garden, admiring Hiho and the heavens opened

So this stupid person - me - stood there, with an umbrella - over the bbq

I got rather wet but the rain stopped, the sun came out and the food was gurt scrummy and I gently steamed, apparently, as the sun dried me off

Isn't that how BBQs are normally done...... or do they do them differently in Portugal?

[tonicha]

We normally have a little sunshine WM but it was okay, the entremeadas and pork loin was gurt lush and I did a white bean thingy to go with it and twice cooked spuds, with pepper, onion and garlic.

That all sounds lovely Ton. But yes, I thought an umbrella was an essential tool when bbq'ing

I've now had to shut the big shutters upstairs, as the wind has really picked up - nasty weather for a few days

[Diflower]

Definitely not Only in Portugal Ton, umbrellas are essential bits of BBQ equipment

[Lozzles]

Absolutely! When we lived in Switzerland we had many a BBQ in the rain...the Swiss didn't, but we did

Our neighbours all think we're bonkers anyway, so an umbrella over the bbq is nothing, really, in the madness stake

your time ? 3.33 A.M ?? bit early in the day for a bbq?

You need to change your time setting Vic, it was 4.33 am and neigher of us could sleep - the wind was making far too much
