Aussie barbie (conversation transcript)
Hello, everyone, I am Ada

Yeah, he is my hubbie.
Today we are going to go for a barbeque, because the weather is beautiful.
Yeah, it is beautiful! Finally, we are getting some sunshine here in SA. Last week was being miserable...
Yes, very miserable...
We wanted to do a barbie for long time
Yep, we parked at ALDI car park ready to go shopping. To get some meat to cook on the barbie.
Wow, the nuts are great Ada!
Hello, we just finished shopping from ALDI…See I bought some mushies, short for mushrooms, some nuts… because we are nuts for nuts! And also, we bought some onions and some crackers…Cranberry sunflower seeds…suppose to be healthier than normal crackers. Right? But we don’t know... And for the barbie, we bought some smoky flavour chicken on skewers…chicken kebabs… and also two filet steaks… and some sausages…oh, I have to remind myself to get some more of this… this is mango flavour…no sugar Pepsi Max…my favourite, absolutely my favorite, so now off we choof? How do you say that?
Yeah… off we choof down to the Belair National Park..
It is such good today, we are not sure if we can get the public barbeque, so we also brought a smaller barbeque from home, we call it babyque, see you later in National Blair Park..bye
