We've been in Austrlia for just over 2 weeks now and I guess it's time to start a blog. We've been having lots of fun and generally settling in. Hugh has started teaching and it's a great school altogether, spoiling us to dinners out and concerts.
One of the most important things that has happened though is that Hugh and Charlie finally attempted the fat boy challenge in Novembar, our local burger bar. It is a truly revolting feat, eating a burger with 7 patties, lots of cheese, bacon, egg, salad and buns. It's like a lot burger on steroids. Min, the owner, says that the last time he weighed the burger it was 1.2 kilos. Yikes.
Note me with my regular sensible sized burger.
It really is a sight to behold. Hugh managed to complete it in 30 minutes, but then had to walk around for half an hour before getting in the car. Charlie struggled through at 44 minutes, even though he had lost hearing in one ear and feeling in both arms. Heroes. The standing record is 12 minutes. The fella must have been a monster.
I can't be alone in secretly hoping that this blog might serve solely as a chronicle of eating exploits. The bar has been set high.
ReplyDeleteProper case of the meat sweats I reckon. You are both my heros.
