Brendan's Barbecue

Leo showed up a bit after me.

Brendan was washing the yellow dust off the rooftop.

And there's Alasdair, who insisted that I spell my name weird.

The first course.

For Zoe's birthday she got a new dog. Luckily the two big collies were off at the hairdresser's.

I met Brendan's wife for the first time.

Alasdair played us some music.

Then he used a straw to play more music.

Zoe took a shower.

Time for badminton.

Opening up the charcoal.

He barbecued the potatoes for a long time.

Something comes out of the dog house.

Luckily we kept the cage locked.

Brendan prepares his beer chicken.

Always wash your hands after handling raw meat.

I let Zoe try out my new camera. It focused automatically on my hand.

I let Zoe take a lot of pictures that night.

Stars started to come out.

Father and daughter.

Another one by Zoe. I had to explain to her to hold the camera very still.

A group photo by Zoe in black and white.

Looks like he's demonstrating an indian burn.

What's going on with Brendan's sweater?

The chicken was taking a long time.

Finally done.

Eating.
