I like mine on top. .

Bright and sunny on Saturday morning and we were off down to the ‘ Big Green Barn’ aka Bunnings but before that I needed something from another place in the same ‘complex’.

These large (read enormous) stores all seem to be conveniently placed close by each other, like an old style shopping centre, outdoor strip mall style with the shops set out around the carpark, where you walk from shop to shop in the sun or rain, which is great until you have to return to your car with your first purchases battling the circling cars to get to yours.
On a Saturday morning when lots of people are there you often find a trail of cars following you hoping to get your spot when you leave – you’ll get one who stops, blinker on, waiting, holding everyone up only to get a bit uppity when you don’t get in but open door, close door and then walk away. 

One of the local sports clubs was having a fundraiser sausage sizzle out the front of Bunnings. The smell of fried onions came wafting across the car park and I thought b…….. it.
Theres nothing like a sausage cooked on a BBQ.
Fried Onions and tomato sauce to go with it are a treat these days as I’m finding the sausages have too much fat in them.

All finished and coming out of the store my hand went into my bag for a gold coin donation so fast even I was more surprised than The Golfer who was with me.

Oh it tasted fabulous – one sausage and onions in a piece of folded bread (white at that something I never eat) and with dead horse as the grandkids call it all over it.  With of course the obligatory square of kitchen roll to act as a napkin.

Those little spur of the moment ‘treats’ do you good- don’t they😊

And the bit about ‘on top’ relates to the controversial decision a few years ago by the hardware store of telling community groups to place the onions beneath the sausage.

Monday Musings – a time to think and ponder

ps – I just remembered something our then Premier Dan Andrews came out with during one of those late 2020 covid times press releases

Just to reiterate:

Inside Bunnings = mask
Bunnings carpark if you can keep 1.5m apart = no mask
In the Bunnings sausage sizzle line = mask
Onions = on top of the sausage

I can’t be clearer than that.
