cooking up a storm
we had a little BBQ today. it was good fun despite the muggy weather.
there was sam, ben, cathy, grant, zoe, deby, james, lachie, debbie, will, eva and lachy. tamara and aaron popped in a bit later on. and there was a lot of meat.
the verandah was the place to be if you could bare the sweatiness
deby and snowy enjoyed our swing set
there was eating
and much merriment.
after most people had left, and it was just sam, ben and lachy, i noticed a twitter from prawn announcing the hailstorm he'd just witnessed. so off to bom we went, and we predicted that we were pretty close to the line of fire.
sam and i were out on the verandah, and saw a rather large white thing wizz past us - and so it had begun! it was awesome. well it was for me, because my car was undercover. but sam, ben and lachy were off in a flash trying to outmaneuver the falling projectiles, some bigger than golf balls, and somehow protect their cars. sam took a tarp - i don't know what the other boys did. but all of them got pretty hammered by hail.
in the end it receded back to marble sized hail and the brunt of the storm had passed.
soon after tamara and aaron arrived. his car hadn't fared well. we inspected the other cars, and only one dent between the three of them!
but it was full on!

Yeah, we were driving down the esplanade and this massive hailstone hit the car and we were like "what was that?". And 5 seconds later we found out.
Good fun.
