turn to be a year older this time and to mark the occasion the sister arranged a BBQ (brave considering the summer we are having) attended by the usual suspects and their brats (shurely charming kids? - ed).With the car knackered (passim) he rented a car for the weekend and whilst nothing corners like a rental nothing fails to accelerate as well as a really cheap rental and so actually getting there was a bit of a challenge but by setting off a day early he just made it there in time (although still earlier than Vanessa and Guy who's tardiness is almost as legendary as GG (NAG)'s).
Astonishingly the rain held off although the wind did manage to find a way to blow the BBQ smoke all over everyone and for a moment the kids were lost in the smog (much like the athletes in the Olympics).
As the day wore down our subject fell asleep on the sofa with Phoebe and Guy and Vanessa's dog which, considering his hatred for all things canine, was quite the sight.
