First Spring Braai (5 days early, I know)

After a hectic spell at work, and last weekend pretty much just sleeping it off, we had a window of fine weather this week and so just HAD to braai. I took the day off on Friday to do things around the house, which was good. Just time to relax and get ready for when the Neuman's, Bann's and Scott came over for our first Spring braai. The weather was superb and sitting around the fire into the evening, the smoke just went straight up into the clear, calm sky. Bliss.

Oh, and we watched the Wallabies vs. the All Blacks, and WHAT A GAME. We were all gutted by the loss, but our boys played a fantastic game. Good on ya boys!! Hooper, respect brother. I was not a fan, but now I am.


Just before the anthems I ran out to get the Q warmed up....

...and just before the Haka threw on the lamb (what else?) chops...

20 Minutes into the game we paused it, said grace and dished up. Welcome Scott too.

The Three Musketeers reunited...they had a great time. Yes, Lily played along and was tired by the end of it (see photo below).

Aaah, just chilling around the Weber with a fire burning.

Lily having a nap with Karin; on our Made in China chair ;-)

Greg and Briar in relax mode.

Petie was a little unwell (hope you feel better soon swearie) , but it was great to have them over too. Petie only got here late, as he was working.
