This morning was the usual start to a Saturday – Good News Club, and a few errands in town. 
I didn’t have any bread in the freezer for lunch so we went to “The Pink Flamingo”, which is a new place built behind the Coffee Shop. It opened a couple of weeks ago but this was the first time we’d been. They do take-outs and sit-ins, serving from a trailer to a large covered deck housing several picnic tables. We just had hot dogs, then went home.
Nick was back in town during the early afternoon for a swim in the ocean with Richard and Geoff, and then at 4 pm we walked across the lawn to our evening engagement which was a barbeque for Rob’s 40th. Nick helped to cook the mounds of sausages and chicken legs while the guests mingled and chatted. We were about 30 people, I think. The advantage of having a do like this on the island is that all the guests already know each other, even if they don’t know each other well – so there was no need for introductions or ice-breakers or anything. It was lovely to talk to people that we wouldn’t normally see or socialize with, including Sharon, whose little Charlotte we babysat a while back. Charlotte is just the dearest little thing. Every time the camera was on her she started laughing.
The food was ready by about 5, I guess, and it was delicious and plentiful, with a few different contributors. I had made a tuna curry noodle salad, and there was a bowl of tomato and cucumber, a potato salad, another green/tomato/bean salad and rolls, along with the meat. The boys had been playing outside with the other kids – and there were lots of kids, apart from the three babies. It was a really great party.
