Sunday Dinner

I call this Henry's Chrismas dinner which as I see it is the Canberrians coming together for Christmas get together. 

Earlier in the day Chris, Dan and I had started investigating Dan's bike issues.  This necessitated a trip to Fishwick Supercheap and Bunnings.  Initially went to supecheap but their cheapest socket set was about $40.  Checked the Bunnings web site and were sucked in by a $10 set which, when we got there, zero stock so spent $20 on a small metric set.

I dropped Chris and Dan at Henry's place and went food shopping.  I was glad I did because they would have gooten very bored and frustrated as it took forever.

Dickson has a new Coles with an underground car park which is $2 for two hours or spend $20 in store for free parking.  Bought:
Wombok, green onion? (long green stuff like shallotts), Fried noodles, Changs sauce, green apples for chris, Kiwi fruit for the pavlova.  I then went looking for quiches for lunch.  Coles had little 200g ones at $10 each.  Seemed odd.  Checked the woolies app and they have family sized ones for $14.  Paid and validated my parking and then over to woolies to get the quiches.

Back to Henry's and a swim while we waited for the quiches to cook.

 The dinner we had driven to partake in - Sunday evening
Michael, Ian, Peter, Zoe & Ben?,
Lewis and Clare and they were looking after Tristan.
Henry (of course)
Frank, Chris, Dan & Jemma
There were others there however I will need to research names and relationships.








MOTORBIKE ISSUES

On the way down Dan had established a few issues with his bike.
Fairing had come loose and he had dropped into a town and gotten some cable ties.
There was a fuel acceleration issue where the bike would not reach full power.
Finally one could see liquid and we established it was coolant.  Initially I did not realise that the coolant bottle was not pressurised but it was later established by Chris and Dan that there was a tiny crack.  As a temporary measure this has been covered by tape but on Monday morning, Dan will be going to the motor bike shop for help with the acceleration problem and to try and buy a new coolant bottle.
