SA Footy

In the UK for this Christmas, with Mrs Jase's family... Don't know what the are doing, apart from a massive lunch, lots of beer, a trip to the local, about 13 degrees. Beautiful...

Lunch will be roasts, veggies, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatos, gravy...

Did somebody say keg?

At Adelaide airport, on board a flight to Guangzhou, 4 hours at Guangzhou airport, on board a flight to Hanoi, and then Hanoi airport.

Lunch at home this year with the inlaws.

Start off early with trip to the local for a few froffies, then home, in laws arrive around midday and into the coldies with the BIL.

Lunch around 2pm turkey chicken ham prawns, cray you name it, plenty more beer and wine and no doubt a very long session in the pool

Probably just take the ferry

Down to Aldinga to my brother and sister outlaws place for lunch. Brother, Mrs, two kids, Me, Mrs, two kids, Mum and Step Dad.

They're renting a small place while they build at Seaford so it's going to be cramped and yuck. Plan was to go to Silver Sands with the kayaks and some nibble mid afternoon, more than likely it will be home and around the mates place in their pool by 5pm.

On a houseboat with the in-laws. Hopefully eating yabbies and sinking cans.

Section 80 says Total Fire bans apply to fires in the open air.

My plan, clear the cars out out of the garage that is UMR shut the garage doors and cook in a closed environment - if a Total Fire Ban day is declared in the Metropolitan area.

Our 2 x 2 kg smoked Turkey Breast rolls should come out* nicely

That is precisely what I will be doing and more likely as I live in the Mt Lofty Ranges district.
Although we do it on Christmas Eve.
I can do the 10 Black Pudding in the gas BBQ as a roast at the same time.

I think we are serving up cold platters of meat.
Apparently I have to do a pickled pork.
Got massive Xmas ham from O'Connell's on Monday
I think other guests are bringing salads, chickens etc.

In an open space

carport - no
patio - no (even with blinds down)
verandah - no

If they are gassed fueled or solid fuel in an Enclosed garage (closed space) - yes

As the CFS bloke I spoke to to today said - technically you're fine but why would you want to as you'd smoke it out?

Xmas morning go up to Mums to open presents with my little brother. He's 14 soon so that tradition might stop in the next few years.

We then jump in the car and drive up to the sister in laws compound in Clare. There will be a traditional lunch spread, volleyball and cricket set up, and then a BBQ dinner.

They have an indoor half-Olympic sized pool complete with diving boards, so I'll be spending most of my time in the shallow end with a Sailor Jerrys in hand yelling at the kids.

The next morning we drive back to Mums and have our Xmas lunch with her, Nan and my brothers.

LOL, why would anyone have a BBQ on a 40 degree day?

better than putting the oven on and heating the house up i guess

Christmas was a bit difficult last year and will be again this year as my brother has broken off contact with my father and I my dad's an invalid now which makes things harder. I'll be having lunch at dad's place while my brother has lunch at my mum's place and then after that's all done I'll have tea at my mum's place. Not looking forward to this 40 degree day business either.

Luckily they invented air conditioners recently!
Just as luckily my girlfriend can cook roasts the day before and somehow makes them taste fresh out of the oven after a quick reheat.

Spending morning at home with kids and missus before heading to the old dears place mid morning with the and brother and sister and their families, then arvo with extended cousins at a cousins place. All the while my pool sits empty on a 40 deg day...

Lunch and Dinner at the old dear's joint with all the relies. Plenty of beers and food. Getting a blow up pool to sit in that all day under the outdoor entertaining area sucking on cold beers listening to tunes.

A lady here at work, who's turn it was to host her 42 other family members, demanded Christmas be changed to a relatives house with a pool

and they did!

I spoke to someone extremely high up in the MFS today who said everyone will use their Webers/spits regardless.
