Paul's BBQ Part II. The return of the BBQ.

We've almost completed the Sydney Project over here and all has gone very well. Generally lots of pats on the back and congratulations for everyone involved. Paul invited us all over to his place for a BBQ on Thursday night to celebrate. We were also there to break in and show off his new BBQ, which he recently bought. I'm sure the size of your BBQ here is the equivalent of the size of your manhood! :-)

Paul has obviously learnt to not let his wife near the BBQ now and Ian, the only local Australian there was suitably impressed with the BBQ as well. I quite like the union jack dartboard just behind the BBQ.

There were some very noisy rainbow lorikeets in Paul's back garden. There were very colourful but so noisy that at times it was difficult to talk over them. Mind you Paul didn't help matters as he does encourage them by putting out birdseed. There are stories of dozens of these birds covering some houses and eating their way through the roofs!

We all ate more than we should have and had a good time talking through the night. Most of the conversation was about how great Australia is to live in and also what an easy and stress free project it had been in the past year. Joe said that all the previous projects that he had been involved in had had some major problems but this one was as easy as it could be for him. We even managed it only three weeks over schedule and well under budget.

This is Paul's new BBQ I'm sure it's bigger than the stove in my kitchen in the UK. Actually it's bigger than my UK and Australian cookers combined.

It's a bit of a fake BBQ though, as it all works on gas, but then again just about all the BBQ's in Australia work on gas rather than the traditional coal and lighter fuels. Probably something to do with bush fires and the dry climate here.
