Family Barbeque #1

I usually have something sarcastic to say. But not tonight. Tonight I just want to say how wonderful summer bbqs are. They are the epitomy of peace. Meat burning on the searing plate. Beer going warm in your hand.
Tonight we had a summer bbq. It’s only spring, but it was a summer evening, the three of us sat and ate our fatty, gristly meat together, grinning through charcoal crusted teeth, squinting into the setting sun.
It was great. It was just how I imagined parenthood would be. Before I actually had a kid and then realised I would never eat a hot and/or complete meal again without a serious case of indigestion and a nervous twitch in one or both my eyes.
Anyway. It was lovely.
A moment to be treasured.
I’m just grateful I’d only had one beer so I can actually remember it…

Oh that’s a beautiful thing xx
It’s times such as these when you say to yourself: “Life doesn’t get any better than this” …and it doesn’t. Peace, contentment, simplicity, love….what more do we ever need? xxx
um… beer. we need beer.
peace, contentment, simplicity, love and beer - now that looks better!
thanks kindred spirit!
…..and whisky!!
Awwww…. I am jealous of such simple pleasures of which I am denied right now (although I am looking fwd to xmas when I’m coming home) - we’re going to Perth to hang out with mother Sims and K&Ps baby! Oh my, I’m so jealous!
Hey Sharnee, they are amazing moments for sure - when they happen! But I will remind you of this comment when you are attempting to claw your sanity back while Little Sharnee or Little Stef is merrily destroying your house!!!
