Here it is, the small bbq that I gave to my husband for Christmas, that is now following me around like a lapdog. I had made a huge bowl of char-grilled veggie salad, lentil salad, bulk bought some steaks on Friday night and thus started the intensely social and wonderful weekend. Here you see the bbq and all my other essentials (cup of tea and knitting!) on my friend Ruth’s balcony. Ruth has just bought a flat in a Sydney seaside suburb, so I decided to have a sleepover to really check out the new home and it’s surrounds. It’s in spitting distance to the beach. 
It is very urban. 
And very connected to the elements at the same time. 
And there is lot’s of scope for activity. 
And this is winter?!?! 
Friends forever.
And then the bbq took all of my family to a friend’s place. 
Jonno’s has just about finished a major renovation, and most of the work he has done himself – well, the inside is done, smick or what? 
And the studio has got very creative walls for soundproofing – personally I don’t think he should paint this at all!
The courtyard will get a makeover next. 
But the unfinished business did not stop us from having a great afternoon, opening some bubbly and celebrating.
