      Just a natural reaction to the Hunter/Forager instinct of wanting to be out there and "do it" at this time of year. Rejoice for your Chromosomes!

      BBQ-ing is all about a not too hot bed of charcoal and keeping the food on the move.

      When the winter wind was blowing shrill,

       

      The rails were froze, the wheels were cold,

       

      And then the air brakes wouldn't hold,

       

      And number nine came roaring down the hill.

       

      (A "Children's Favourites" standard!
