A Little Park Opening Around The Corner

I just went out to a little park opening just around the corner from our house. I received a flyer in the mailbox during the week that they would have BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs. So I decided to pick up 2 of each for lunch. I was looking forward to it but unfortunately, the burger was too well done. The hot dog was all right though. Boy, it was so hot just walking to that spot, I was very happy to come back home with the cold air on.

A burger tastes best done well, if it's made of good quality meat. And a pleasant walk in the park to boot... ;)

The walk wasn't that pleasant as it was way too hot for me.

@marlina Yes, I read that. Here, a short walk without rain is always pleasant, but temperatures do not rise as high as where you are - anything in the mid-teens or low 20s, deg C, is considered a fine day here!

@marlina My city is going to have its own constitution next month. I would probably propose it. The proposals for the new constitution start on June 5th.

It's not good walking when it's too hot, but at least the hot dogs were fine.

Walking when it is hot and humid is very bad for the lungs and the heart.

That's nice they opened up but sucks the food wasn't how you would have liked it. Hopefully next time it will be better and more enjoyable.

Well it would have made for a nice lunch had the cook been paying more attention to what he was doing and didn't overcook the food. Maybe next time.

are you complaining or just relaying a story? the burger was too well done, it was free so im not sure they were asking individuals how you want your burgers? i like my burgers cooked until it is not pink inside, as long as the outside isn't too burned im ok.

Sorry, the food was NOT free, they were raising money by selling the food.

A park around the corner sounds cool. Right now we have some winds blowing here so anticipating a little of rain.

Grilled hotdogs sound good just now for lunch. Unfortunately, the boyfriend already requested my to cook baked walleye for lunch earlier. Maybe I can make him his baked fish and I will make my grilled hotdogs.

Just across the street from our house is a wide playground. It is getting crowded day after day. I wish cars should slow down before something happen horrible. Kids are crossing the street carelessly to pick up balls. I wonder why the city is not imposing a 30 km maximum speed limit.
