Pints at the local...

Here is Feargal and Adam enjoying a pint of the finest homebrew stout ever created by man! 

Japanese Cuisine

We all went out for a meal in a local Japanese place last night, here is Feargal with a teriyaki dish.

And here are the lads inspecting an octopus leg......... 

Man Overboard

We went for lunch on Mark & Tres's boat again the other day and Feargal went for a swim in the sea. This is before we went to the aquarium and learned about all the deadly creatures in the ozzie waters. We wont be doing that again in a hurry!
 

Feargal Sharkey

Its a bit blurry and the light aint the best, but here is Feargal in an underwater tunnel at perths aquarium. It has a conveyor belt running throughout the tunnel so its like we are on the menu at a sushi bar for all the sharks in the background! 

Wierdest drink to date

Australia has its fair share of unique places and experiences but the strangest of these to date is this liquid crunchie bar. Need i say more..... 

The Ozzie Zoo 2

Here is a white peacock, I have never seen one of these before. 

The Ozzie Zoo

There are a few zoo's in Perth and this one we went to last week only houses Australian animals. Birds, marsupials, reptiles, the works. Most of them are really friendly and its ok to go and pet them. Here is jane with a Wombat. These wee fellas can get up to a speed of 40kph when required and are marsupials, like kangaroos they keep their young in a pouch.

Fin Morris

Here is Fin Morris again, looking good and about twice the size he was last week. 

Hally & The Punto

For all of you who know me, you probably know of, or have met on a few occasions, my buddy Mick Hally (he looks a bit like Mitch from Baywatch). Have a look at this website, and check out what his brother is doing for the new year. I bought my first car from his brother Bryan, a fiat punto, best car I ever drove. Well Bryan is going to be driving from Cork to Africa in a Fiat Punto with a max value of 100 bucks and a back seat full of spare parts. Best of luck to the Piston Broke team and I home the Punto gets you there in one piece.

The worlds most photographed dog...

In keeping with tradition here are this weeks pictures of Reilly in the garden.
 

Happy Birthday El Presidente

Here he is, El Presidente, master viola player, legendary porterhouse front-man and singlehandedly keeping a thunderous flow on murphys taps nationwide Finbarr Townsend (the extra r is for aaarrrrrr). Twas his birthday the other day and this is him cutting his cake. He did a fantastic job of documenting the recent international hour of power day here and also keeps a mean CSMAU site up and running, you should check it out www.csmau.com 

The Lads on Safari

Here is Jane, Feargal and I spending some time hanging out with the Koala's at feeding time. 

The Lads

Here I am having a pint of homebrew with Steve, the guy the takes us out fishing from time to time. 

Proping up the bar

Here is Feargal and I enjoying a pint of homebrew in the bar. 

Reilly-cam

Here is this weeks reilly shot with her favourite toy called Chicken Pox. 

Finns Christening

Here is Nadine and Adam at Finns christening last sunday.

We had big party afterwards and polished off a fair whack of booze. 

Greatest gig this year

So, Jane, Michelle and I are a fairly regular ensemble of Tres Classique. We do our fair share of gigs around the greater Perth area, but this most recent one was pretty spectacular. It was in the underwear department of David Jones, an ozzie Brown Thomas, and appart from it being a novel way to spend a saturday morning, it was a virtually pointless gig.

Here I am, proudest viola player in all the land, with my vast selection of bra's. 

Feargal joins us down under

Feargal arrived in Perth yesterday and is staying for a few weeks. Here he is sporting a glass of homebrew and a picture of Colm Mac Cathlaoich from the Irish times a few months ago. Classic!

We couldn't believe our eyes when Feargal opened one of his many suitcases. This one was the best "Red Cross packages" which has ever been dispatched to these shores. There was even a 10 pack of Meanies, outstanding work!
 

Reilly

Hasn't been a picture of the worlds most photographed dog here in a while so here is one from yesterday in the bar. 

Lemondog

Check out this lemon I yoinked from the neighbors garden. Looks pretty wierd, and from one angle it sort of looks like a dog!!!! This was an awe inspiring vision last night after a few pints of the ol homebrew!
 

The Kegerator Is Complete

Here it is dudes. The finished product. Jane did a fantastic job of spray painting the keg-fridge yesterday and we shuffled it into place last night.

I still have a few small things to do such as install a subtle but effective drip tray and eventually install another tap but other than that its working away fantastically!

So here it is. Some glasses on the top shelf, nice and chilled, 2 kegs (1 stout and 1 lager) ready to go and two more in the brewery bubbling away as backup, a few bottles of my XXX strenght beer for special occasions, some champagne, some tonic for our collection of gin and last but not least, 2 bottles of lucozade (rare to get in australia) for if you have a hangover.
