Plot party!

Friends of ours have recently bought a plot of land outside the city, and are starting to build their own house. They held a 'plot party' - a land-warming - on the property. It was the perfect Saturday afternoon. Despite the forecast being something like 'warm and sunny, with cloudy patches, wind, some rain, changing to cold winds in the afternoon', which basically means 'we have no idea what the weather is going to do, but hurricanes are unlikely', it was a glorious day. The only structure on the land at the moment is the gorgeous old corrugated iron barn: we set up tables and chairs inside it, spread out picnic blankets, got the barbecue going and spent the day eating, drinking, talking and lazing in the sun. And listening to the soothing sound of the neighbouring farmer shooting rabbits. But even that didn't spoil the idyll. My friend Christina and I had great fun playing around in the paddock, too (and it's not often you get to see me play air guitar on this blog!).
