This is what it would look like from Ireland (all upsidedown here....) Its a batch of ale (57 bottles) for Eamonn. Hopefully it will all be ready for the rugby match this weekend.
I did an Irish band gig (duo) yesterday with Adam (Janes Brother) and we were playing fairly rough for the first little while as it had been a while since our last practice/gig. Then we had a few guinness's in us and they didnt want us to stop, we totally rocked the place. They kept plying us with booze and chip butties for 4 hours AND paid us extra. What a place!
Other than that a pretty good weekend of dinner parties and beer making. I have 200 bottles in the shed now, a fridge full in the bar and 120 on the way this weekend. Its the best hobby ever. I made an "experimental" batch at midnight whilst watching the Brazil v Australia match, which could potentially be the strongest beer EVER! that story Finbarr wrote below about the beer exploding may actually happen!
Got the front room converted into a bedroom for Margarets visit this weekend, not much furniture in there yet though, I'll just have to find some shelving and stuff for all the presents from home she'll be bringing.....
Got a great call on skype from Baz Halpin and Steve Kelly at 9am my time (2am for the lads) on saturday morning, twas great craic, well done lads! For anyone who has a computer, get skype. Its free, its really easy to use and its FREE.
Feeling pretty tired today, long day of gigs and then up late watching the world cup last night, only about 4 hours sleep so the sofa in the spare meeting room is looking tempting for a snooze right now!!!
Anyhoo, thats all the news for now, I hear the weather back home is fantastic. Its 22 degrees by day and about 6 by night here with the occasional rain showers, so its still shorts & t shirt weather. Not bad for winter!
