The Firemen in the Garden

As previously stated, interesting things don't happen to me often, but tonight something really interesting did happen! In the form of 3 firemen in the garden.



So it started with a BBQ. A very good BBQ - Indian rubbed pork chops and Satay Chicken. Afterwards I decided to do a little gardening, and took down a load of ivy. Well, it seemed the obviouse option. Hot BBQ, dead ivy.....

Problem was the coal wasn't very hot by this point, so decided to use a little white spirits to get it going. And Joni got a little over enthusiastic. And it got quite smoky. And it turns out the neighbours called the firemen!! The irony was the fire was out. I was already inside and Joni was on his way in when he heard someone bashing their way down the ally and shouting! Being the guilty type (he always has something to feel guilty about) Joni bolted into the house! So im leaning out the window asking what the fireman is doing stood in my garden, and he asked me is a saw some kid running past, when he points behind me and says "yeh him!" at Joni.

So one hell of an adrenaline kick later and there are 3 firemen in my garden explaining the neighbours called because there was lots of smoke and the smell of petrol. They didn't seem to mind being called out. Life as a fireman in Cupar is probably quite dull. Everything is normally to wet to catch fire around here.

So, fun evening!!!
