Title: It's supposed to be 19....
Post by: Michael Alexander on July 26, 2008, 08:38:39 AM
It's supposed to be only 19 degrees today, but I could have sworn I smelt a bit of east wind somewhere... I wonder if it's legal for me to braai in 19 degree weather, I have a major lus vir lamribbetjie on the coals... major major lus.....

You always threaten to pitch up here, but you never do, besides we use Blitz firelighters these days...... sometimes when I run out, i use Michele's flames from her mouth to light the fire....   :nono1:  image19

The Braaing Law Book states on page 1 :  Braaing can be done and enjoyed regardless of the weather.

 trex-073 Well, instead of lighting the braai fire with my flames I must have ignited the flu in Mike - he is now lying under a blanket on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate - so much for his braai!

I should be feeling all sympathetic and sorry for him but after reading some of his postings  madashell

You see what happens when you say

Awwwwwwwwwww sorry to hear you not feeling well Mike...  Me thinks you just need to apologise to Michele so that you can get some TLC, a good  164 and I am sure that you will be feeling heeps better in the morning..  Take it easy and hope this is just a 24 hour bug thats doing the rounds.

Well as some of you know, I never braai'd yesterday as I was feeling a bit grotty, However, I have arisen this morning and feel like 1 million bucks, ready for work, just trying to find the right song to put my mood right, after playing Rem, ALberta Flack, Paul McCartney, Wings..... ROd Stewart did the trick for me.....So after work , i will be lighting up the wood...

Never mind all the empty beer bottles - you can hardly see the table outside for all of the empty beer cans piling up this afternoon!

As per normal once the braai is lit people flock in from all sides!

Only problem is that I'm going to have to make another plan for the girls supper as there ain't going to be any braai meat ready in 1/2 an hour!

Well this one is'nt from this Sunday, But two Sundays Back, Stennie and Shadow, CHris Smit and Andre FOurie.... This Sunday impromptu braai thing is getting contagious these days, Last nights one was not too bad, save for the fact when I came home from walking the DOg this afternoon, Two more cases of beer appeared on my braai table.... must be a sign that the same thing is gonna happen this weekend..... cheers Stennie...
