I’ve been knocked out for the last week by what the doctor identified as a flu. I seem to be more or less back on my feet now, albeit a bit wobbly, and can do some of this thinking thing I’ve been hearing is useful. I’ve pointed some of it at writing down a sort of first draft attempt at a guide to running a successful barbecue, some of the principles of which can be applied to any party or event. Your thoughts and comments will be very welcome.

Not a nice thing to have to add, but I'd mention that it's a good idea to put away small things of monetary value. If, like me, you've a habit of leaving your full wallet lying about the house, you'll want to not do that at parties. Ditto ipods, tiny cameras, other pocketable things.

(I know this sounds obvious, but I found out the unpleasant way)
