good morning, good night

[Theo]

Good morning grillers,
I was supposed to do something in the garden.
Mowing the lawm, and planting some potatoes.
I think this is not gonna happen...

[noo_b_nomnoms]

^He-he, 78 degrees here in Dallas at 3AM, lols. Still, it is pretty to look at :)

[franksinistra]

^^ nice place Theo

[rhowaldt]

look at that spacious Dutch garden. here in HK we don't even teach the kids the word "garden", because they have no clue what that is.

[Theo]

^^^ Nomnom it was overhere 2 degrees celsius.

^^ Thanks Franksinistra, it's a nice place to live (if you like it quiet). Except those noisy pheasants..

^ Rhowaldt for Dutch standards it spacious (the backyard is 330 square meters).
It's a pity that in HK the kids don't know what a garden is. It's not only a place to play at, but there is so much they can learn. Back in the day my kids wanted to 'help' and learned that carrots didn't grow on trees :)
When I look outside the frontwindow this is how it looks like.

Same here.

Actually it is but not at the end of April. :D

Yesterday I went for a smoke on the balcony and it looked like February. I had no drink. -2 °C. Fuck, that is why I want to be on some of those pics of Wux.

^ ahh yeah, it was hot for us, 20+ C every damn day :)
I wouldn't be able to do mid summer.
it is biting in UK too, bit of snow but not enough to stick, like Theo.
An old UK saying, pertaining to weather:
"Ne'er cast a doubt until May is out"

An old UK saying, pertaining to weather:
"Ne'er cast a doubt until May is out"

Or like we say in Spain: "Hasta el 40 de mayo no te quites el sayo". More or less it means "Until may 40th don't get you raincoat off".

[wuxmedia]

nice... and that's in Spain!
Quite a few miles/kms south of the UK :)

I heard that the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains. ;)

Here in western Oregon, March really "came in like a lion and went out like a lamb." April has been a mix. Had some nice 70-80°F days last week, now back to normal April weather: 50-60°F with scattered showers.

[rhowaldt]

in HK people have no such saying, you simply sweat your ass off for 3/4 of the year ;)

Then you have to come to Valencia in November. You will be swimming.

^ Literally.

The high is usually between 31C/88F - 37C/99F degrees everyday here in Bali with humidity from 70% to 100%. On a cold day it will only get up to 29C/84F. I don't use air conditioning because I'm used to the climate now.

Right now it's:

seeing in the long weekend here with a 'murrican brew:

It's quite nice, but waay too much money.
Did we not have a beer thread?
I'm thinking this is 'only good enough' for export...

[darry1966]

Yes seen this sold at Supermarkets here in NZ and it is expensive and only a six-pack.

[machinebacon]

Welcome back Baconator, and good bye Baconator on May 4th again :D

[noo_b_nomnoms]

Sam Adams goes for about $7 a six pack in the South. Everything is more expensive up North, lols. They now have a pretty wide variety of specialty brews, but I prefer the old faithful :)
My favorite I can't pronounce- or spell- I just know it when I see it and buy it for about $8-9 a six. It sounds like Hoegaarden (?) and it is tasty with that hint of citrus!
Are you headed back to your other home, machinebacon? Safe travels!

[machinebacon]

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a Hoegaarden.

[wuxmedia]

^ hah
^^ yeah hoegaarden, is nice. it's a weissebeer
I'm really confused - didn't we have a beer/booze thread.
I couldn't find it at all.. :/
