Yesterday was the solstice, the longest day of the year here in Australia. It was a gorgeous day, sunny without being too hot, perfect for our annual solstice barbecue! Being the longest day, it seems fitting that our barbecue be the longest event of the year; people started arriving at 1pm and the last left around 1am! It was a really nice day/night/morning, I had a great time and I think everyone else did too.

My only regret is that more people couldn’t make it. Several people I had expected to be there were unable to attend. So now I’ve got a fridge full of sausages that didn’t get eaten; guess what I’ll be having for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for quite a while?!
