Birthday picnic invitation

[alias_sqbr]

I was pondering a poll on places, but screw it this needs to be organised!

What: A birthday picnic
Why: My attainment of perfection
When: 11am till the afternoon Saturday the 1st of December
What to bring: Food to share and other picniccy things(*). You are free to bring things I can't eat, but I reserve the right to sigh sadly if it looks really tasty (and possibly eat some and then be very ill and it will all be your fault). A present if you like (or just a card, or donation to charity) but that's not required.
Where: Halliday Park, cnr Coode St and Burnside St Bayswater (see map below). It's really close to the Bayswater train station, and there's parking nearby at the pub and shops.

I was going to go for Kings Park, but we went to a fair at Halliday Park today and it was nice in a suburban sort of way, lots of trees. Also, you know, MUCH more convenient for us. And next to a second hand bookstore!

(*)ie at least some of you should bring plates, drinks, cups, a knife, and something largish to sit on. We will probably bring these things too.

Basketball is at 4:35, so I should be able to attend for the early part at least (your end time is somewhat vague....)

Also, perfection is overrated (this is an objective opinion, and has nothing to do with the fact that I will have to live for another 467 years before I reattain perfection (in years anyway))

Awesome, that's at least the three of us then! :)

I will be in attendance.
I am pondering plate contents. I presume 100g of butter in a recipe would not make for a happy sqbr (although please correct me if I'm wrong!). Which of the available alternative substances is most acceptable?

[alias_sqbr]

Heh. Yeah, butter=sad sqbr. Nuttelex is pretty good, or vegetable oil (not soy based) I mean if its crazily fatty I won't eat much anyway, but if it's buttery I won't eat any.

We're talking about 5g of the relevant substance per biscuit (they're quite large). I will investigate the use of nuttelex.
