I spent Saturday with my daughter and 2 of her friends bodyboarding at a
local beach, and got sunburned in the process. Made sure the kids were slathered up, neglected myself.

Yesterday was spent moving patio furniture from our front deck to our
recently landscaped back yard, spraying a couple of coats of paint on an
older table and building a fire pit out of concrete blocks with a metal
liner.

It'll be finished in time for summer, would have been nice to have it done during the lockdown, but it took quite a bit of work to level it out, and money was tight.

As it was, we made the most of a good-sized deck; we bought a propane fire
pit and a tank-top heater and spread out a couple of benches to socially distance around the fire pit. It'll be nice to have a full back yard to
spread out in and let the dog run around in this summer.

Unless.. you mean when you invite friends over?

Sounds like your all set for a fun summer. Will you be cooking outside daily? I BBQ all year. Even in the snow. My ex-wife won't eat steak unless it's BBQd. Do you have a picnic table. Me and a Pal built one from scratch last year. Very east to make and save a lot of money.

We have one family that we've seen through this whole thing, and they us. We meet outside and keep our distance. We've been doing so up to now on our elevated deck, which is a little cramped. Having a whole back yard to spread out is going to be nice. We're very fortunate.

I live on the coast in California. We barbecue a lot. :)

We have a metal and glass outdoor table that I re-painted this weekend, and
a picnic table of my mom's that we're going to use as well.

My wife is wanting to make benches out of cinder blocks and 4x4s. We'll see how that goes, they might make a nice border to the terracing we have where
we leveled out part of the yard.

It's winter over here, I have the fire going, fine and sunny but crisp
and cool (circa 8 degrees Celsius)

On that note, I've been enjoying sunset that's now at 9:50pm (I got a sunset picture at 9:53pm about a week ago), but could do without the 30C-ish temperatures we're currently getting here.

Though I'm likely to end up in California in a month, where it'll be... cold, probably, because they have lots of air conditioning there, unlike in Germany.

Happy Saturday folks.

It's winter over here, I have the fire going, fine and sunny but crisp and cool (circa 8 degrees Celsius)

Got two at home unwell with Covid-19 and so far I'm doing OK but am tired as there's a lot of running around caring for them :) I'm the last chap standing.

Been doing some fsxNet admin today and added a few nodes with thanks to the help from Deon and Solaris. Posted about that in FSX_NET

Plan to do some tidying up of inactive nodes in NET 1 in the coming week(s).

Gotta go and think about dinner now... I think it may be sausages.

Best, Paul

Happy Saturday folks.

Thanks, and back at you! =)

Ouch! Hoping they'll get well soon, and that you'll manage not to catch it...

Sounds nice! BBQ here. I've spent the day celebrating my mother (she turns 75 next week). A nice day with nice weather and summerish temps (well, about 20C at least).

Best regards

Thanks so far so good, I'm testing each day at present.

My mum may make 81 in July so that would be nice, BBQ sounds good. It was sausages and some stir fried vegetables in the end. :)
