Sunday Spit

 Sunday 28 March

An easy start to the day as we have a family spit at Christopher and Sammy’s today. CP’s new spit has got a real work out since Christmas and he has it down pat. After collecting some more charcoal, beer, wine and fuel for the Merc, Flashy is given a taste of the AMG’s sport mode along Camberwell Road. The V8 rumbles and the acceleration is impressive. Back to more mundane matters as we load the spit with marinated chicken and lamb and prep some salads. On request, Flashy makes some chorizo and cheese croquets for Joanne and others to accompany her Spanish Tempranillo. The sun is shining and we sit around in the back yard watching grandkids play and the spit turn whilst continuing to keep hydrated when Tas arrives with more wine and the Champagne is opened. This is all a strong sense of deja vu. We soldier on through the day and Andrew and Katie arrive from their date night at Crown (Casino Hotel), looking very seedy. Katie lasts a few minutes and retires from the match injured, while Andrew has a big glass of water. As you would expect, late in the day, when the espresso martinis were consumed, CP ordered pasta and pizza because, well we hadn’t had enough to eat!! It was dark and we walked home to our flat.
