FIRST signs of the sun and out comes the barbecue set.

The outdoor campfires are fine when you're enjoying one yourself, but when you're indoors, and someone up the road has lit up for an al fresco supper, it doesn't half make your house pong.

The other night I had to shut the window and doors to keep out the smoke and smell.

It was a toss up whether to sweat or stink the house out. I opted for the first.
