As planned months ago in advance (well not months ago, maybe two) we were going to have a BBQ this weekend, it was originally held somewhere in May but was postponed to 8th due to everyone being busy, but now it was definitely happening. Me and Inn had the heads up with a successful BBQ last weekend and Popey has been through an ungodly amount of BBQ’s before this one so we were well prepared for the weekend. It was suppose to be a nice and relaxed bbq before the ungodly event known as Muse wembley where we’ll be having tonnes of people at Kazzie’s house eating and drinking.

Friday 5pm The photography, tin man and pirate

Before the BBQ event (which was on Saturday), me Inn and Kazzie were going to meet up and all and just do something relaxing before the big BBQ, Inn was taking the train down to London and so I thought I’d meet her at 7pm when her train arrives, Kazzie had to do some cleaning up for the event to ensure that everything was nice and tidy.

Living in London, I didn’t have much trouble preparing or anything, I just treated it as a normal day and had my usual lunch at 3pm odd, but instead of heading home I decided to just lounge around central London until Inn arrived, I picked Covent Garden as my lounging destination since I haven’t been there in ages and I wanted to check out Cyber Candy which sold import candy and cereal stuff.

Upon arriving I took photos of random street performers as well as a weird selection of people sitting on a bench which consisted of a photographer, a tin man, and a pirate (well he wasnt a pirate but I insist on calling him one anyway for blog entry marketing purposes). There was also a guy called “Reno” (not really but I like giving people names to make it easier to remember) who did some random ball act. I’ve seen it quite alot of times before so I wasn’t too amazed but I took photos of him anyway.

Afterwards I was off to find Cyber Candy. I was disturbingly lost! It was pretty annoying, however I did manage to find a Tin Tin Shop! Was pretty chuffed about it and all, Alice was a big fan of Tintin so I thought she’d love the photo of the shop and all. I got quite a lot of dirty looks but thats what you get when you become a photographer haha.

I kinda gave up on finding cyber candy, judging by the time I had left it would have been closed if I had found it anyway so I just headed to Forbidden Planet to look at figurines, it wasn’t particularly interesting, I wanted to get some studio ghibli figurines but turns out they didnt have any . Ho hum. The day was getting quite shabby due to the lack of things I was getting haha!

I found out today was Malaysia Week, there were a lot of stalls open which demonstrated a lot of Malaysian culture. One in particular was a stage showing Malaysian fashion. It was a cat walk in which they talked about the interesting clothes worn in Malaysia, I just jumped at the opportunity and took photos of the event. Since it was a public event I was able to stand right in front to take the photos, it was quite fun I must say. I had free models and everything hehe.

It was funny texting people and telling them that I was at a fashion show, think I confused a lot of people during that hour. Inn had texted me saying her train was cancelled and that she had to take the train after that which meant I had to meet her at 7.30pm instead. So I was just taking photos of the event until it was time to leave, once the fashion show was over they were preparing a Malaysian wedding, they had the chairs all set up but I wasn’t able to watch the ceremony due to time restrictions.

Friday 7.30pm Train Pirates

Upon arriving at Kings Cross station, I got a bit bored and got myself some water to drink, it was a bit humid today and the trains were ungodly to travel in. I arrived slightly early than planned so it was a matter of finding things to do, wasn’t too long though till Inn rang me up telling me she had arrived. I picked her up and we went to Euston Station to take the train directly to Watford Junction. I initially thought it was ok for us to use the Oyster card to get to Watford Junction but it turns out later on that I was wrong haha (crippled me a bit with a £5 fine and all!)

Anyway, the train journey was cool, there wasn’t any seats left so me and Inn just sat on the floor, occasionally we would get trains coming from the opposite direction at rediculous speeds which would scare us or wreck our ears haha, it’s funny how everyone was used to it and didn’t flinch at all when the trains went passed. There were a lot of delays, I told inn that perhaps the train ahead of us was being hijacked by train pirates which caused the delay, I even did the ubiquitous ARGH voices to ensure realism of the scenario haha.

Friday 8.20pm “We have a KFC?”

Upon meeting up with Kazzie at Watford Junction, we immediately got in the car and drove around Watford in search for food. The list Kazzie suggested wasn’t too pleasing, we had to choose between Chiquitas, KFC or MacDonalds. Personally I wouldn’t mind having a bit of dirty dirty KFC but Inn wanted some decent food which left us pretty stuck on what to get. Eventually we drove up to a TGI Friday restaurant for food, however there was a 30 minute wait so we drove off in search for food once again. We then saw a Harvester and suggested we went there since it was better than the rest, I kept singing “ooooh when will there be a harvest, for the wooooorld” when we were close to the place, and later on we also find out that there was a Frankies and Bennys close by! We were shocked that Kazzie didnt mention them! We decided to head to Frankies and Bennys since it was close to the bowling alley which we were going to go to afterwards.

Upon arriving at Frankies and Bennys I immediately knew what I was going to eat, I remember when Michelle kept mentioning how she’d have Spaghetti whenever she went there and she liked it, so I decided to try it out, I was initially going to get the Meatball Spaghetti but they ran out of them, I even did the accent when I was ordering but I think they didn’t appreciate it haha. Kazzie got ribs and a quarter of a chicken served with chips, Inn initially was going to get a BBQ chicken lasagne but then decided that Mushroom lasagne was a better choice.

The restaurant was funny, they served things in disturbingly large trays and all, the drinks were a bit funny too, Inn described them as a liquid version of chewits, they tasted a bit mank to be honest haha. We did the typical thing of taking photos of each other and the food when it arrived.

I wasn’t too happy with my food, it tasted like something you’d eat in a school canteen, nothing like my Lloyd Grossman spaghetti which I enjoy making and consuming. Everyone else seemed chuffed with there food. I ate my food swiftly and was still hungry, Kazzie couldn’t eat any more and gave me some of her ribs whilst Inn also treated me to some of her Potato Skins (which was alright). The problem with the food was that it became pretty boring when you ate it, with places like GBK and Nando’s your tastebuds were always filled with something new which made the food nice. With this place it was rather bland and monotonous. The bill wasn’t too good as well, I had spent £9 for a rather sub par meal, the entire bill was about £40, with that kind of money we could have bought 4 family feasts (I remember a time where I constantly converted money into the amount of family feasts you could purchase with it).

It seems like no restaurant visit was complete without my banging on the table. I remember randomly doing and everyone was dead silent looking at me afterwards, it was quite embarrassing but funny at the same time haha. The waiters were also a bit too flirty for my likings too, he mentioned something about carrying Kazzie and Inn in his massive tray (tray not being an innuendo for penis before you think about it)

Friday 9pm Teh Kazzie, Jesus and God

We left the place and stole a balloon since the food was rubbish, some chav kids went “oi that’s illegal when we did so” inn hesitated for a bit but we still managed to leave with it, until some random kid said that the balloon belonged to his grand childs birthday (yes he has a grand child). Inn just surrendered the balloon since it wasn’t really worth squabbling over, though I felt she could of outwitted him with the obvious “what’s his name, how old is he, what year was he born, WHAT IS HIS FUCKING LOGICAL INTERVENTION”. But yeah, by surrendering the balloon the kid went all smug for lying about something pathetic in order to get a balloon. Ho hum

Bowling was shambolic, for me and Inn anyway, we weren’t too good at it, I myself have my good and bad times at bowling, Inn wanted to have bumpers in the lanes but I insisted that it remained a mans game haha. We picked our name on the interface, I called myself “Jesus” for comedy purposes, Inn called herself “God” whilst kazzie just called herself “Teh Kazzie”

We had quite a fun night, though most of our bowls were gutters it was still nonetheless fun, Kazzie did alright since she played it quite a lot beforehand and all. I just made a lot of over dramatic moves to compensate on the shit bowling haha. Inn didn’t do too well to begin with when she kept bowling gutter balls and eventually building up to hitting one pin hehe.

At the end the results were in, Kazzie won the game with me coming in second and inn last. We got our shoes back (was funny how they only took one shoe instead of both) and decided to really jazz things up with some DDR action. Twas only a quick go but I kept it simple and focused more on doing flash dancing (ie making it look fun). Most of the time I was able to spin around the dance mat and do steps without actually looking at it haha.

There was a Stacker machine there too which I was very tempted in playing but gave it a pass since they didnt have DS Lites as the prize (just ipods).

Friday 10pm Inn the pyromaniac

We went back to Kazzie’s place to have a nice lounge about, we literally did nothing but talk outside in the garden. Was a very chilled out moment that you’d hardly see in Muse meetups. Kazzie had a chimnea in her garden which we could burn stuff in, inn got well addicted to getting stuff burning, I just sat around and watched them do the burning. We didn’t even have fancy drinks, just drank tap water and talked all night. Not much to say to be honest… I could go on about the chimnea but that’s just boring haha. We eventually headed off to bed and awaited a crazy day sushi eating and BBQ’ing

Saturday 10am “I just had 11 microsleeps”

I’m really bad in the mornings, I’m used to sleeping in the dark so when the sunlight comes, I don’t notice a thing, this was mainly due to my bed being a bunk bed for quite some time (noone sleeps at the top) but ever since I’ve had the top bunk removed, I got an ungodly amount of sunlight which meant I actually wake up from the sun! I never knew how responsive I am to the sun, it’s good I guess because I can wake up naturally via the sunlight, but the problem is I don’t want to wake up. This is where microsleeping comes into play. I’m simply wake up, know that everyone is asleep still and just fall back into bed again haha. I woke up at around 6am I think, noticed it was an ungodly time and went back to sleep, and it almost became a 30 minute thing where I’d wake up again from the sunlight and fall back to sleep, nearer the end Inn was actually awake from all the waking up I was doing, so I tell her I had x amount of microsleeps. It got ridiculous when my count ended up to 11 microsleeps! I was literally waking up and sleeping for 10 minutes before waking up again! Inn kept complaining that I snore, but it wasn’t the oblivious type of snoring you get so I dont care, my golden line is still “i sleep like a goddess when in foetal position” and most of the time I’m forced to sleep on my back.

We woke up properly at 10am when Kazzie popped by and brought peanut the cat over (I’m only relying on timestamps on photos to guess the time haha). After much peanut playing (kazzie was using a goldfish tied to a stick) we decided to get ready and drive to central London for some food. During the journey we get close to a megabus, twas pretty disturbing for me Kazzie intentionally drove up close to it to really take the piss *shakes head* We eventually arrive at Brent Cross where we remember where we parked (Level 2 block C) and headed to Brent Cross tube station, we popped by a Krispy Kreme and Apple Centre in the shopping centre too, inn had never tried Krispy Kremes so we showed her the godlyness of it and all, she enjoyed it, Popey loved Krispy Kremes too so we managed to rub it in his face that we had some, the next best bit was when we went to Yo Sushi in Victoria Station to have our lunch.

2pm The green tea thieves

This was inn and kazzie’s first time at Yo Sushi, I had a disturbingly lovely meal at Yo Sushi with Jason so I was nice and prepared on what I should be getting to eat this time. We didn’t really get into the conveyor belt action this time since the food there wasn’t too good (or fresh) we ordered our food multiple times which was fun. I got myself some prawn yakisoba action as well as some prawn tempura to eat whilst inn ordered some sweet potato tempura. Kazzie was scared about almost everything, she wasn’t a fan of fish so sushi was definitely a no no for her, I eventually persuaded her to have some chicken dishes including firecracker chicken rice and chicken yakitori (Jason kept going on about it so I thought it would be fun to see it in action). Quite a lot of conveyor belt photos were taken, not to mention our food haha.

Everyone was loving their food, we tried each others food which was cool so we had an idea of what other stuff tasted like, I loved chicken yakitori so much I actually ordered another one haha, the waiters gave us a chicken yakisoba instead of yakitori by mistake for Kazzie, however inn was going to order that anyway so she decided to have it, then it was sushi time, felt a bit wrong if we just ate the hot stuff and not venture into some sushi, I got myself a salmon nigiri and inn got herself an assorted mix of nigiri and maki rolls. The sushi today was particularly fresh! The salmon was so soft that it melted into your mouth haha, Inn was very pleased at the quality of sushi.

Kazzie was enjoying the entire visit, she was trying out a lot of new stuff, including chopsticks, yakitori and most importantly…sushi! We managed to persuade her to have some cucumber maki roll, it wasn’t really fish so she should be ok. Here’s her attempting it…

Bless her, twas simply too much! I think its more in the mind than the fact that it was not edible, I mean she was eating rice prior to this and she was cool, I guess its the nori that freaked her out, or maybe the fact that I added wasabi in it haha (who knows ). What I don’t get is that why people think nori is bad, you can hardly taste it, its just there to wrap things up and all, it doesnt really add to the taste or anything. I eventually made her eat everything.

Near the end I made faces with my food hehe. Was fun, the table really helped the photos unlike the one at Picadilly.

Kazzie did some pretty silly stuff at Yo Sushi, she even went into the men’s toilet by accident silly her haha! Inn kept drinking my damn green tea, she initially said how she didn’t like it, but eventually had a sip of mine, she definiteily liked it, whenever I looked the opposite direction from my tea she’s quickly get a sip of my damn tea! She did this quite a lot times, then Kazzie wanted to see what all the fuss was about so she started drinking my green tea too! Then it got to a point where it was either kazzie or inn stealing my green tea, I didn’t get my peace I had to constantly get refills from the waitress for them to drink it all up, Kazzie drinks quite a lot in one go too which meant I had to pester the people so many times. Even when i went to the toilet they actually got the waitress to refill my cup so they could drink from it!!! Grrr. We paid our bill after countless amounts of green tea consumage, I help paid for some of inn’s bill since I owe her money for lying about the price for Gem’s present (I swear I didn’t even get the money for it!). We were going to meet up with Popey at around 5 odd so we headed off to Camden Town for some shopping (well Inn and Kazzie wanted to shop anyway). We took a little detour and bought some additional krispy kremes too!

Saturday 4.30pm The Jamaican hat and booby apron

Shopping at Camden was a weird and also stupid experience, it was alright but you need to remember how much I loathe Camden Town for its worn out “alternative” feel. It was the home of little shits (emo, goth and the sub human categories) where they are able to buy identity kits. Speaking of which, Kazzie wanted to buy a spikey belt, wristband and some T shirts with whimsical sayings haha. And yes I did lecture her about it.

During one of the stall visits we found some aprons we could buy! Inn was supposed to buy one for the event but didn’t really have the time to buy one so today was a good opportunity to buy one for Popey to wear, we happened to stumble across one that has boobs attached to it and decided that we HAD to get it, it was only £6 so it was definitely a well spent investment and all.

At some random point I decided to put on a rastafarian hat and pretend I was Jamaican haha. Inn immediately took photos haha, there were also points where I tried on top hats but inn was far too slow to take photos before the guy said no photography allowed (well she was oblivious to the fact that the guy said it and only stopped when Kazzie told her not to).

We eventually met up with Popey, hiding the apron from his sight and then telling him that we bought him a Krispy Kreme but eventually I ate it which is why I only have a paper bag without the doughnuts, truth is Inn had it in her bag and all just to trick him, was quite fun. Popey made sure that he was getting the most out of the doughnut by sniffing it for a bit haha (I did that too but after eating it, it smelt so nice!).

We did some more browsing, me and Popey bought some freshly squeezed orange juice and went to Cyberdog to look around at crazy stuff. Everything was far too expensive for our likings though so we didn’t really buy much, we event went to that goth shop where inn wanted to buy some clothes. Actually it got to the point where inn kept stopping at shops which made us have to hang around and wait for her haha (Dont worry, I get my own back at the Apple Centre). After some hard shopping we went back to Brent Cross to get this BBQ thing started!

Saturday 6pm: Jamming at the mac store and 20 yakitoris

Once we were around Brent Cross I decided to stop at the Apple Centre JUST so we could play the fat man song. I was instantly recognised from my previous visit and they made me get on the keyboard to jam around haha! I suddenly was crowded around with loads of Apple Centre staff people listening to me play stuff, I did quite a lot of tracks including tetris (which people thought was “some russian song”), phantom of the opera (which was thought to be “some scary organ track”) and mario which someone actually knew what it was (though they thought the underground tune was the boss tune so they didn’t do their home work!) . The reason why people made such silly guesses? Well the songs they requested were…”some R’n'b tunes” and “Beethovens 5th”. The latter I can explain a bit more, I asked them “how does that go” and they said “I dont know” with a blank shrug. Bloody retarded chavy staff! I was hoping the more sophisticated types working at Apple Centre, not some retards who had no idea what quality songs I was playing! Popey Kazzie and Inn sort of stopped crowding around me and went on the Muse board whilst I was generating the crowd so sooner or later I decided it was time to leave (well to be honest I only left because someone turned down the volume when I was playing some pretty intense synth leads haha).

Our next trip was to Tesco’s to buy the BBQ stuff, me and Inn immediately knew what we wanted; quality quarter pounder burgers, chicken wings, onions and peppers, sausages and bacon, bread, breakfast stuff, tropicana, cloudy lemonade and cheese. Some additions included beer for the men (haha), steak for inn and Popey (they wanted to go all out with their steak and all), waffles for breakfast, some nando’s marinade and extra hot sauce since we had to buy raw chicken wings instead of ready to eat ones. Our most important purchase was the 20 sweet chill chicken kebabs, which we immediately called “Yakitoris” haha. This food was for the evening and the morning. Instead of working out bill splittings etc I just purchased the food with my card and asked everyone to pay later on (too much dilly dallying if they had done the splitting there) there were a few individual purchases so they were paid separately, including Popey and Inn’s steak and Popey’s 42p cupcakes which he was going to wager for my Canon 400d camera!

Popey refused to sort the food into the back so Inn shoved everything on Popey’s side (looks pretty silly) and we were off! We had gazebo’s to build and BBQ’s to make! During the car journey we took some nice photos including some car mirror shots, a shot of some random lonely tree and the “The NORTH” sign.

Saturday 8pm: Gazebo building, BBQ making and Smash Brother battles

Once we arrived back at Kazzies we instantly unloaded our food and took a photo of how much food we bought for the day, we then started having a go on the trampoline and began building the gazebo, me and Popey were in charge of doing it whilst inn just watched and took photos (don’t worry she gets a shitty job of cleaning the BBQ grills later on). It wasn’t too hard to follow. Most of the time when we were connecting the poles together we started battling out on them as if they were light sabres, we joked at how the instructions told you to test the durability of the poles by engaging in a light sabre battle with a friend and strictly telling you that you needed to make the sounds and everything in order for it to be a proper light sabre battle. Sooner or later our gazebo was built, it was a pretty big gazebo and we were really proud that our whimsical dream has actually became reality. Was surreal but satisfying at the same time.

I took some random helicopter shots which turned out pretty well, I basically made Kazzie look like a helicopter every time she jumped on the trampoline and made her do it at all angles, what we got was a spinning Kazzie that looked like she was flying from her helicopter spins haha.

Kazzie couldn’t find the charcoal I purchased last time we visited her house so it meant Popey and her had to quickly nip down and get it, me and Inn stayed to finish off cleaning the BBQ grills and to marinade the chicken wings. I wanted to use a meat cleaver to do this since I was literally cutting through bones and all but Kazzie didnt have it so it was a case of slowly cutting the bones with a normal knife. I used quite a lot of nando’s hot marinade as well as some extra hot peri peri sauce that I kept from the last bbq and some BBQ sauce just to add a bit more texture to the mix. The problem with marinading stuff is that you should really leave things over night since the stuff needs to get into the meat in order to taste anything inside the wings, but time wasn’t our friend so we had to make do with a quick marinade.

Popey and Kazzie arrived with the charcoal, we were ready to rock! We had loads of fire lighters this time so we were well prepared in ensuring that the BBQ would work this time. We eventually showed the apron to Popey and he was well chuffed at it, one of the funniest lines he said was “why does she have stumpy legs?”, not realising they were suspenders haha. The BBQ looked pretty good at this moment so we thought we’d just leave it and have our battle on Smash Brothers where my £500 Canon 400d camera and stu’s 42p cupcakes were on the line as wagers. The rules were simple, 5 lives, medium occurrence items, and Hyrule Temple. We picked our favorite characters (Me ness, Popey pikachu) and we battled…

The results were horrific, I thought Popey would have actually improved but I the moves were similar to the previous time we played, i was able to baseball bat him all over the place and dodge his lightening attacks, things were so much easier when you’re playing against one person so no doubt it was an easy victory for me. I was taunting him throughout the game by constantly falling off the screen and losing a life, the results were 5 ko’s (me KO’ing Popey) and 4 suicide deaths (me falling for the sake of taunting). So yeah, it was a pretty non intense game in which I defeated Popey :p haha, however to be fair he did make me worry that I wasn’t going to be able to defeat him this time and I had to actually hand him my camera so fair play on that!

Saturday 9:30pm The second BBQ

After the lovely victory we started our bbq and whacked on some cheap “ultimate” burgers from the frozen section of Tescos. It was always wise to shove in the shit food first and all haha. We also whacked on some yakitoris since they didn’t take too long too cook, the result was some crazy flames spewing out of the BBQ, I personally liked a bit of flame anyway, adds the texture and all. We eventually toasted with our nicely cooked burgers and continued to make some more burgers as well as eating yakitoris along the way. The yakitoris were godly! They actually tasted better than the ones at yo sushi (I confirm this at a later date), the funniest thing was that everytime we had a yakitori we should shout “yakitori” and someone would shout back “yakitori”. Twas quite funny, and similiar to earlier on when we hi5′d everytime we mentioned “yo sushi!” haha (just to piss Popey off since he loved it but didn’t get any).

We later on shoved the angus burgers into the BBQ as well as the rest of the yakitoris, the problem however was that the flames were beginning to die off. So once the food was cooked we decided that we needed more coal and heat. What does this mean? we had a SECOND BBQ (we did haha), not a separate one, just a new one with new coal and everything. This time we cooked the chicken wings, ribs, steaks and sausages.

The chicken wings were godly! I had once again done an awesome job in making some awesome hot and spicey chicken wings for me and Popey to eat, Inn couldn’t eat it due to her loss of spicey tolerance and kazzie had some chicken wings that didn’t have marinade on them. They were just godly!

Inn and Popey then shoved their steaks onto the BBQ and battled it out on who can have the rarest steak. Inn won by a long shot haha, I managed to have a little piece of steak that came off Popey’s piece haha, it tasted pretty awesome, though I didn’t really want to eat an entire steak myself since I was saving up for yakitoris as well as my chicken wings. The food and company was all good. We started putting streaky bacon into the BBQ too, I immediately thought of the idea of wrapping them with the sausages! It was a grand idea, bacon worked so well in BBQs I must say! We managed to do some guitar jamming during the evening too and sang along to some muse songs, I did do a few other songs but people had no idea of the lyrics, it was like they only knew Muse haha.

The rest of the evening was spent chilling, relaxing and talking. We continued our talks back to the living room and played some more smash brothers as well as wii. We went back to the whole me vs everyone battles on Smash Brothers since I was able to occasionally beat them at it, and it was only fair for me to play handicapped, it meant that instead of killing 5 pikachus, I had to kill 5 pikachus, 5 kirbys and 5 pichus. It was tedious! They’re whoop me at times but when I won I had my victory dance of defeating 3 people ganging up on me hehe.

Afterwards we played some wii tennis and bowling. Tennis was fun since people were just lying there and playing it rather than standing up and assuming the tennis position. Inn kept getting in the losing team which was funny haha, though she said her batteries were dying and all. Wii bowling was fun but Kazzie won again (damn her and her bowling haha). You got to love wii sports since its not about gaming skills anymore. It was around 4am that we were playing wii, Kazzie’s mum was a bit ill and was in bed all the time, she wasn’t too happy with the noises we were making during our battles, she’d text kazzie telling us to turn down the volume and all. Near the end when we got into bed Popey made a joke about farting in Kazzie’s face and everyone started to burst out laughing, inn in particular it was quite contiguous, Kazzie’s mum sent another text to Kazzie saying that was enough and that we should go sleep!

Later on that evening it got a bit hot so someone suggested in going outside and sleeping under the gazebo, Popey said no but I thought the idea was grand and decided to venture outside and sleep outside, it was a lovely warm evening so sleeping outside was alright. Then Popey and Kazzie followed with the idea haha, Popey however decided to sleep on the trampoline haha, Kazzie slept under the Gazebo too but later on the evening went back to sleep inside with inn! Meh! We soon settled in and got some sleep!

Sunday 6am: The 8am BBQ Breakfast

Like I mentioned before, I was pretty sensitive to light so I’d be awake in an instant when sunlight came shining onto my eyes, so around 6am I started to wake up, I felt like I couldn’t get any further sleep so I decided to pack up, and get ready for the day, I got changed, brushed my teeth and even went on the board. It was around 7am that Popey decided to wake up too, I told him we should get the BBQ started now for our breakfast since Inn had to catch her train back at 2.52pm. So eventually quietly got the BBQ set up and ready to go. We had a nice chat and drank some orange juice (I think Popey drank Lucozade haha). Popey began borrowing my camera and took some photos of stuff that morning too, once the BBQ was ready we started cooking the Sausages, once that was semi ready it was about 8am, we decided to wake people up… BAD IDEA…

Kazzie was sleeping like a log but inn was a light sleeper so she woke up pretty easily, we told her that we have breakfast ready but she told us to fuck off for waking her up at that kind of time haha. I wasn’t too bothered so we just let them have their sleep and continued to cook the food (since it would still take some time to cook). The sausages were nicely done around 8.30am but the heat was dying AGAIN! So yes, we had ANOTHER BBQ to cook the bacon and remaining sausages, we shoved the other sausages in the oven and let it warm up there.

It was around 9.30am where the food was ready where we decided to just make our (me and Popey) food first and let the girls either cook their food or something. I cooked the baked beans but used quite a high heat and resulted in some quite mushy beans haha. Popey kept whacking the beans back into the pot because he liked doing that to food (a bit Oliver Twist esque if that makes sense) . Eventually me and Popey had our food ready and ate it outside under the gazebo. It was a lovely BBQ breakfast, the orange juice in particular really gave the thing a kick.

Once we finished eating it was around 10am, we began cooking the other meats and decided to wake everyone up again, but once again inn wasn’t too pleased, she was still in a grumpy mood and said why did we cook the food haha, I think she was still oblivious to the fact that we decided to cook the breakfast in advance so everyone could enjoy a lovely breakfast as soon as they woke up. I guess you can understand that working people do need their sleep and all so I wasn’t too bothered about letting them getting more sleep and all. Me and popey were bored so we went on the muse board to look at the stuff, I left the meats to cook and put the stuff around the edges so it would cook slowly. In kazzie’s room I managed to do some CSS editing on stu’s blog since I didn’t like his sidebar link hovers haha. We then decided to play some New Super Mario Brothers. I got my DS lite out and found Kazzie’s DS Lite hanging around in the kitchen. I also took random photos of lamps and cupcakes, one in particular was a tribute to alice’s lamp pic:

It was a fun game since anyone could win at it, in this case Popey beat me ah well, I can’t win at everything. Kazzie woke up later on and got nice and tucked in with the food, her mum later on appeared and she had some of our breakfast food too. Kazzie enjoyed it quite a lot and waste grateful that we made it in advance. Inn was still asleep bless hehe. Around the time Kazzie finished her breakfast and was battling Popey at Mario, inn arrived and told how she didnt like being woken up at 8am, I told her that I woke up at 6am and just wanted to get the day started properly. She then went to take a bath or shower and said she’ll forgive us if we prepare her breakfast, since we were in the wrong a bit for waking her up at 8am (though we didn’t really set a time to wake up) I decided to make the meal for her (though most of it was ready anyway).

The bacon was extra extra crispy since we left it out for so long, I really should of left mine on the BBQ too

We went nuts on smash brothers again, this time I decided to make the damage ratio x2 which meant one hit can send someone flying to hell haha. Popey loved the new rule since he could occasionally beat me, Kazzie and Inn joined in and things got pretty intense, it was quite a challenge beating 3 people ganging up on you Sometimes I would win sometimes i didn’t however the last battle I managed to beat all 3 of them and left it like that.

We then tidied up and put the gazebo down. It was time to leave so kazzie drove us back to Watford Junction where we bought our tickets and went back home. Inn paniced a bit near the end since her train departed at 2.52pm and the train we took to Euston arrived at 2:44pm, she eventually missed the train however managed to get on the next one and avoid having to pay extra since the person just stamped it and didn’t notice the time. I had my lunch and went to my local Caffe Nero to chill out before going back home, was lovely .

That was about it, I’m dreading silly for Wembley, so many people this time!
