Weekend funnies

Incredibly busy weekend. Skipped work today because I was pretty exhausted, and my knee was not playing nice. Started at 6:30am in Carlton, froze as I rode through the shadows of the cbd buildings with a mate. Rode 100k around the bay, felt a bit sore after about 20k on the flats, but it was great fun chasing the packs. Finished the day off with a chocolate brioche and a coffee at seven seeds in carlton.

Had a dinner party on saturday night, then again on sunday night, both involved about 4 hours worth of prep, including shopping at the prahran market. Had two great nights with pretty much the same people haha. Sunday night involved also drinking some Moet Chandon Grand Vintage 2000. These people are great company, achievers in their own right and a good laugh.

Some stories which came out were
- R's family used a bag of peas for every sort of injury that required an icepack. They used this sacred bag of peas for years, so much that the outside packaging turned white. One day, they couldn't find the icepack. After some investigation, it turned out that grandma who was visiting for the weekend cooked the aged many-time-defrosted peas for the family.
- R's mum was staying over at her parents, and cooked a mince for them. Grandma and grandpa ate the mince while mum went out for a dinner with friends. Unbeknowst to mum, grandparent's dog ate pet-food mince, which happened to be stored in the freezer. So mum accidently fed grandparents dog food
- M has a work colleague who is really crazy when he visits uncle charlie. He came into work with a sore shoulder one day, and he volunteered this information, that he was in the shower enjoying himself, but being so coked up, he didn't receive responses and violently had his way with his shoulder.
- M's colleague also broke his ankle as a result of falling off a balcony. Turns out he was angry with the noise of scattering feet on his roof for months, and as revenge tried to piss on a possum while having a few too many beers.

Wish weekends were longer
