The morning after...

...in which a barbecue has occurred.

I've never been on any other kind of diet, so I'm not really sure how a barbecue would work out or what you'd be allowed to eat; on Slimming World, pretty much all lean meat is unlimited, so all you really need to avoid are the usual fatty burgers and sausages. 

We had lots of pork chops/escalopes (brought by our friends), some chicken breast and some Sainsbury's "be good to yourself" burgers that come in at 1 syn each - I usually make "free" burgers (made with 5% fat mince, egg and onion), but I forgot and in any case there was just about the right amount of food anyway.

I managed to stick to free/superfree foods more or less exclusively (apart from the burgers); I wasn't quite so successful at my resolution of not drinking wine or having too much cider. I'm going for a long run in a minute to make up for that.

Anyway, many songs were played*, some of them even in tune. A good time was had by all, and the food and drink flowed freely and all that stuff (the drink possibly rather too freely). Apparently we now have a tradition at these gatherings of playing "Jolene" as it makes Saira laugh to hear 2 heterosexual men begging the eponymous Jolene not to take their man. 

Since we played for the best part of 4 hours, my fingers are not at all happy this morning (playing an instrument that involves repeatedly pressing your fingers down firmly on metal strings can often make your fingers sad).

*after a fashion.
