When he asked about the driving noises he could hear in the background I told him we were on the bus on our way to the shops in Sydney - which he believed (mustn't have heard too many Sydney buses). But the joke was looking like it might be on me - we were running fairly late and I was having visions of wrecking everything that Susan had planned. As it turned out we got there in plenty of time, it was pretty shocked at how many people were there. I knew a few people, but there were a lot of others I'd never met. One of the more interesting things of the day was the behaviour of Mirko's Dad. Mirko's Dad is usually a straight talking, no bullshit kind of guy but today he was a doting, baby-talking regular granddad. Definitely a side of him I've never seen before. Despite the rain it was a great BBQ and as best as I could tell everyone had a good time. The part got smaller and smaller until the only people left were us and a few old uni mates. Once Matt received his mysterious phone call and rode his motorbike into the night, the party was officially over. We stayed up for a bit to chat and catch up, and Mirko introduced me to his take on latte art. Fuggeddabout fancy pouring techniques and microbubbles - Mirko's technique involves adding the chocolate to the top by flicking his wrist holding the shaker in an "artistic" manner, then naming the creation what he thinks it most resembles.
