One of MCJ's elder sister, C, loves hosting parties or family gatherings. When MCJ's other sister (S) and family from Adelaide were here last week for vacation, C decided to have a family dinner. It was sort of a P family reunion less their eldest brother who also lives in Queensland but a bit far from us.
We were expecting a nippy and windy night so I let MCJ donned a fleecy jumper and track suits while I help myself with three layers of tops including the jumper and two pants - talking of not used to chilly weather. The weather wasn't that biting when we left home but dinner will be served outdoor so we stayed in the outdoor veranda.
We were expecting that dinner will be served as soon as we get there but that wasn't the case. The roasted meat wasn't cooked yet because the "guys" put it on around 4PM which was a bit late. We have to wait for more than two hours, I think and then the mob being so hungry had already eaten the food that we took there with us. :)
Halfway through the socialization, cold wind started to blew from behind us. Brrrrr. C has this bonfire thing but it wasn't enough to warm us all. I reckon, an outdoor fireplace would be very handy in that occasion. We just hurriedly ate our dinner and flocked inside the house to watch footy where it was warm.
It was fun but almost all of us got sniffles the next day. :)
