Hippo Birdie Andy!!

Today was A's b'day which did not start off well... To start with it was a "round" number (/me whispers thirty) .. then there was the kitten that just wanted to wish him a happy birthday from mid night until 4 am ... And then when he got up, the real fun began! A car breakdown!

Lucky things got better from there with a session in the valley - I was designated driver... Which was a bit sad once we got to DOOLEY'S and the pints of Bulmers came out ... so sad .. too bad!

And then we decided to move on to dinner as the boys were keen to discover / rediscover the ribs at Blue Smoke BBQ, down the road in New Farm.... Firstly can I say CORN BREAD! well I just did ... so yum with the honey butter whip!

Andrew & Dunc of course had the beef ribs and I had the lamb (with fries and BBQ-ed corn). Both excellent choices. Although for me the star of the night was the very YUMMY buffalo wings, with the third degree sauce luckily on the side!!!

By the end of the night Andrew was ready to give birth to twins, named Bulmers ... and ... Ribs...!
