I have got the lamb chops ready for the barbecue on Monday
The fridge is full of VB stubs
Can't wait to eat and be merry with my mates
I am also going to witness my kiwi mate become an aussie citizen at the City Council with the Lord Mayor
She's so excited
Got the aussie flag and have been practicing whistling loud

jessup you are drinking VB up there?? what about a few "darwin stubbies"?? I remember when my (now ex) girlfriend was up there and brought one back for me.. This was before Dialysis but I still had no idea how I'd drink it all!! LOL So I waited for a family BBQ and took it over and we all had some.. wow!!
(for those not in the know.. a "darwin stubbie" is a 2 litre bottle of beer!! A "normal" stubbie is like 12 oz/350-370ml)... hehe
enjoy your BBQ sounds good... I'm not doing anything that I know of. How boring. Having a family BBQ tomorrow so I guess that will be my oz day :)
