Spring in the North



Suddenly the sour smell of something burning was noticed in the living room. We tried detecting the source of the smell, but it didn't seem to come from anywhere within the house. Opening the window, the smell intensified and its source could also be seen. The neighbour had in a moment of pure spring feeling lit his grill out in the garden where the spring flowers already were blossoming. His coal was burning and he was having beer with some of his mates. The beef and the shrimps were being marinated and the lot seemed very cheerful. Finally the grill was ready for giving the group a fine barbeque, but as the neighbour put on the beef, the sky had turned grey and it started snowing.

Then what did he/they do? Did they stay outside in the snow?

Where I come from it always rains on the bbq. At least they would have been warm!

Tito: Very cruel indeed.

Risa: I'm quite sure their cheerfulness quickly left them (judging from the muttering of words I shall not quote here!) I'm not sure weather or not they stayed out in protest or if they went inside.

Anji: I think I would actually prefer snow to rain. Unless you have a tent or something that is.
