Started the BBQ at midday.
Finnished the BBQ at 4pm, when we had a rain storm. Also, I had run out of meat.
For those of you who are curious, here is a better shot of ‘seu Oliveira’ along with some pork belly cripsing.
seu Oliveira….
Check yesterday’s post if you are in the dark.
Today is Monday, no meat, no BBQ.
Still doing the weekend dishes.
But I did have a lunchtime beer, followed by Nap-fu. Which is when it started to pitter-patter with rain, now it is persisting down. The rain was expected, as we had watched the heavy clouds come over while having our beer. It was clearly a case of when, not would it.
I have spent the day with my ear glued to the phone, as I had done all day Friday, no phone call from lawyer. So I can only assume that tomorrow will not happen. Am I reprieved?
Silly Box: Today, the Guardian proved itself absolutely useless. I had complained in previous posts that they had changed the format of their ‘Environment’ page, which has stopped me from using it as a principal source of such news. Today they have changed the ‘news’ front page to the same useless jumbled format. I have deleted it from my pages to visit as totally useless as a reference source.
Why must people fix things that aren’t broken?
The Pope has upset the Curia (cardinals administration) in his annual address to cardinals. Accusing them of self-centred infighting and being power hungry to the detriment of the church. While I criticised him for kow towing to China when he refused the Dali Lama an audience, he is generally good for the church; literally a breath of fresh air.
A town in Argentina becomes the first in the country to ban beauty queen competitions in its traditional festivities, arguing they are sexist. Good going.
Australia’s Tony Idiott is back in the news. Quote: “The problem isn’t that Tony Abbott’s stuck in the past, it’s that he wants the rest of Australia to go back there and keep him company in a world where men do the big jobs and women do the ironing,” – BBCNews
Shopping via the internet has become the thing to do. It seems as though its not without problems as several big food companies in Britain have experienced IT problems, and promises that Christmas shopping will be delivered… after Christmas. That’s just lovely if you were expecting to make Christmas dinner for the family.
It’s now after 4pm, the rain has stopped, it is cooler now. I should go and take advantage, because it is still hot in the house, I am sitting under the fan on full.
Later.
Life is but a Labyrinth 
I think some of us would like you to enlighten us and do a post about your BBQ master methods.

>MrJohnson, an idea. I’ll have to think about that, because being a chef it just comes naturally. 🙂

Argh, Tony Rarebit. He’s transferred that Scott Morrison from Immigration to Social Services. Trading his jackboots for thumbscrews, no doubt. That Morrison has ice cubes for blood I reckon.

“I can only assume that tomorrow will not happen. ” This is rather worrying, AV. I had been planning to go to a party tomorrow evening. Could you please provide some guidance on what happens at midnight? Do we all turn into pumpkins?

>Andrew, the appointed hour has just past and still no phone call. I am sincerely hoping that it has been postponed until after Xmas, or even better, New year.

Arghh, Tony aka Richard Cranium strikes again:
“Australian leader Tony Abbott has been criticised for saying that women had benefitted from his scrapping of a carbon tax, as they were “particularly focused on the household budget”.
Mr Abbott was stating his biggest achievement for women in an interview after Sunday’s cabinet reshuffle.”
“While in opposition, Mr Abbott had said that repealing the carbon tax would help women by reducing the cost of electricity used in ironing.”
What a wanker!!!!!!
