Nice to have the Q on while the sun is setting.
Attachment 124469
Food looks great, Willy, but what is that tall tree on the left in the last pic? It looks like a fir tree and not something you would expect to see in Africa.
I’m not an arborist, but I suspect it is indeed a fir. Certainly not an indigenous tree and I guess planted by our neighbour.
Picnic under a leaden sky with Gold Coast born and bred local lass
Attachment 124507
The sky began to bruise as evening drew in so we repaired to the fireplace to warm up and dry out as we watched the garden log turned into BBQ charcoal
Attachment 124508
This is the same BBQ pit as Willy's above ^^^ on its inaugural run out. It is a bit high for toasting your toes so I took the wheels off
Attachment 124509
The sausage sizzle was a success but the 4/5 full moon was hiding its lunary luminations behind a curtain of cloud with the overcaste sky.

Only got to second base on the 1st date before her Nissan SUV turned into a pumpkin.

If you mention Trump.thats a definate passion killer.
^Trump came up briefly, only because we were talking about Pope Leo and his enigmatic smile, and I mentioned that it would be interesting to see how he would interact with Trump, since Trump is so keen to meet him.
She did not declare any love or hate for the orange official and the Trump conversational moment passed without incident.
I think it bodes well for any social interaction or friendship when Trump can pass through the conversation without incident or emotion and the conversationalists do not feel the need to declare any partisan allegiance or hatred.
Trump provides a unique barometer of temperamental weather pressure when he appears on the conversational horizon.
Beef short ribs for tonight.

place them into the Q on a bed of onion, carrot and red wine. I used foil for one because I didn’t have enough trays that fit. I used a ceramic plate once and spent 17 hours cleaning the black spot? Off of it. So I’ve learned that lesson.
Attachment 124645
hydrate
Spritz about once an hour every hour to keep them moist.
Attachment 124644
They look a bit black, but it’s the bark and the lighting. This is what the look like after 4 hours in proper lighting.
Attachment 124646
Plated with gravy, chips and salad.

^Choice cut Willy, done to a T
I sawed the legs off my copy of your BBQ with an angle grinder so it would sit a bit lower to the ground and afford better feet heating efficiency

Just in time for the arrival of a lovely lady from Sri Lanka who was smitten with my natural beehives.
But first order of business was feeding the butcher birds
Attachment 124709
They are cautious with a new visitor
Attachment 124710
But one sneaky peek at the goods and they are in like a ferret up a trouser-pipe
Attachment 124711
Savoury entrée with tomatoes and cheese to line the stomach
Attachment 124712
Did not look like the best cut so I thought better to stray on the 'well-done' side of the equation and drizzle some Teriyaki on top as it was cooking
Attachment 124713
Marinaded in Teriyaki made it quite tasty sliced and munched with tomatoes
Attachment 124714
Not sure if Signorina Sri Lanka was convinced as she sliced hers up and fed it to the birds
Attachment 124715
So I augmented her serving with some snags and she proved a lady of refined and urbane tastes going with mustard sans ketchup
Attachment 124716
The smoky perfume of the smouldering camphor laurel wood wove its way up her nostrils and bewitched her as dusk crept across the valley with only the butcher birds for spectators
Attachment 124717
Lovely folks the Sri Lankans
Fantastic country too
.although I haven't been In quite some time. Tried to get on with a Sri lankan mining company there but that didn't work out. I'm sure I would of enjoyed it.
Them socks are a passion killer!:ourrules:
I think they are to hide the hairy legs and hobbit feet.
She was sporting sandals with a pattern that matched her dress when she arrived, but she sensibly brought some winter socks with her for the fireside.
Her undies were from K-Mart. I checked the label when I was tidying up the balcony after the throes of battle.
A busy week for the new Q with the coals aflame again this arvo.

Women are like No.3 buses and on the top deck today was a tiny 44kg aussie lady in her diesel Honda SUV.
Attachment 124798
She wanted 3 teabags in her mug of tea. I explained that Yorkshire Proper Strong is already properly strong but she was adamant that 3 bags was the minimum. She declared it delicious so I gave her box to take with her.
She had one of these vape units that lights up when she sucks it and produces spooky Harry Potter-esque smoke.

Teriyaki steak was given another well-done spin
Attachment 124800
But the snags stole the show once more.
Attachment 124801
She was up for a snuggle but declared there would be no sex on a first date.
Attachment 124802
However, once warmed up, an offer of an oil massage was enough to find a chink in the armour and mount a flanking assault on her unguarded ramparts that she was ultimately unable to repulse, despite her best laid plans of mice and men.

^ Your jealousy is unbecoming.
Show him your bin, willy!
:doglol:
Something is maladjusted there.
No doubt about it.
I personally think 'jealousy' of someone else posting on TD is as rare as rocking horse shit, but something has gone haywire for Mao.
Mao, luigi,etc etc etc. Maybe all that young pussy is giving him a different perspective. Or maybe he's just a whacko. I suspect the latter.
Maybe he will post up his bbq later
Blob & Blob back at it. :)
