A day out to Bunnings

I was going to go out for a cycle but ended up vegging instead. We did go out to Bunnings though to buy some kit for brewing, also got chatting to an older Scotsman that worked there. The staff are all uber friendly in this place, it must be part of their daily quota to greet everyone they see.

For tea I attempted to make the super nom ji dan guan bing. Easy to make and tasted nom but I need to perfect and adjust the recipe to get it bang on, not bad though (would be great to taste the real deal again, especially for 3RMB!).

Barbie Roo!

Didn’t get the best of sleep but I was up and ready when Nat came back from here pilates, first stop was Bunnings (B&Q) to get my keys cut. We then popped past a Western Union joint to get some birthday money from my Dad (thanks!). Feeling the hunger we popped past Rose’s house to have food at the asian place just around the corner. Rose’s mate Greg was there and he looked like Crocodile Dundee. 🙂 I nom’d on some pad thai. There are lots of asian restaurants and massage places in Melbourne I noticed, and asian people.

After food Nat was keen to splurdge her money on a new wakeboard so we went past the shop to get one in time for tomorrows antics. That done (and Nat chuffed as) we headed home (via good ol’ Dan Murphy’s bottle shop for some Torpedo Extra IPA, lovely stuff) and cleaned out the garage a bit.

NOM NOM NOM

Roo on the barbie!

Armed with beers we walked 5 minutes down the road to Nat’s folks house for a barbie. Got to meet her mum Robin, ate lots of ‘roo (delicious!), talked about many things and left with a jigsaw puzzle. There is even some old home brew kit that they said I could have and they also pointed out Aldi will be selling mountain bikes dirt cheap on Wednesday so I’ll be looking to pick one up. Barbie today was great! 😀
