summer is here!

Or it is for a north-west european like myself. I'm in sandals and t-shirts, but some of my co-workers are still wearing big jumpers.

Pretty good weekend. Fun beers on Friday, fun hangover-taunting on Saturday, fun going for a walk by the lake, then lazing around drinking coffee in parks on Sunday.

I got a proper local haircut on Friday. By which I mean, I didn't wuss out and go to a complete ex-pat place (though the hairdresser turned out to be an Italian who lived in London anyway). According to the husband, I now look more european, though still having long hair.

It is barbecue season (no, not what you USians call barbecue) but I still lack a barbecue. Made up for it by filling the apartment with smoke from cooking chicken on the ridged grill pan. Nearly as good, with the added advantage of pan-gravy to dress the salad leaves in.

A headline in the local Metro equivalent translates as "Londoners elect joke candidate". Oh dear.

It's the best translation they could do by Rogerborg (4.00 / 1) #1 Mon May 05, 2008 at 06:30:05 AM EST

As I understand it, German has no word for "jovial", so it was either "joke" or "non belligerent".

Scotchlandia is also enjoying a 5 minute bout of sunshine, so it's all sunburned cleavages and bellies bulging out of crop tops. The women look pretty silly as well.

I doubt that's a mistranslation n/t by gpig (2.00 / 0) #2 Mon May 05, 2008 at 06:49:33 AM EST

Seems pretty accurate to me.

Different areas of the U.S. have different definitions, with the northern parts of the U.S. meaning what you think it means.

Are there different kinds of barbecues? by Tonatiuh (2.00 / 0) #5 Sat May 10, 2008 at 03:14:56 AM EST

I thought the ritual of burning meat outdoors was pretty much the same everywhere...
