365 days ago it's was 6 inch deep snow in Sheffield...

What a fucked up winter this has been. We've barely had a flake on the coast, but it's metres deep in the mountains.

Not digging the cowboy boots and tassles. Good job there's other stuff to look at.

What boots and tassels?

After today, if you haven't personally called, you should search your soul.

old cedar cones on the BBQ make for a pleasing smoke.

Except if you live in NE Scotland, where it was baltic.

It's nearly winter here and I'm still bbq-ing... Mainly because the kitchen is being redone and one of the bbqs is right outside the lounge...

It's been the same down here near Melbourne. Ridiculously warm and I've had the barbie out at least twice a week right through May.

Ha - funny to hear from the Au contingent - I'm just leaving Singapore for Darwin.. Forecast looks a bit warmer and stickier than usual for this time of year. Is there some kranky El Niño shit going on this year?

DaveC · May 25, 2014, 07:03:32 am

Apparently there are signs of an impending El Nino event at the other end of the Pacific.

Make sure you check out Darwin's only climbing wall. Its in an old water tower. A mate is from there and she said it gets FUCKING hot climbing in there....

I went there a few years back. It was fucking hot - and there were loads of kids running around the place apparently uncontrolled. I left after an hour as I was paranoid I would squash a child when I fell off (they were everywhere..).

Oddly for somewhere so hot there was a chalk ban too... mmmm... sweaty fingers exfoliating on worn plastic holds.

For feeding the family, after work, everyone playing outside... Gas all the way....

For evenings at the weekend, no time pressure.... Coals.

lagerstarfish · June 23, 2014, 07:50:01 pm

I think I set a new PB yesterday for number of people catered for in one session on coals

I managed somewhere in the 20s last year, but was unable to count yesterdays crowd due to Jasper providing 72 pints of Farmer's Blond

Jim · June 23, 2014, 07:57:30 pm

I accept your challenge . It's nearly time for Jim's summer party

lagerstarfish · June 23, 2014, 08:39:28 pm

I should admit that I didn't actually drink all 72 pints myself - in case you were wondering whether that was part of my achievement

it struck me that cooking on coals for lots of people would be easier if they all brought low fat content sausages and burgers - or just chunks of proper meat, chicken and fish (that don't ooze grease onto the coals). Mrs JasperSharpe sourced some good stuff from a butcher in Woodseats
