Happy New Beer

First off HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! 2009 eh, last year of the naughties, that went pretty quick! Highlights of the last year for me would definately have to be doing that 88 show run of miss saigon whilst still teaching 70 hours a week at the same time then getting a staff position which meant I could cut my working week in half and still earn the same. Had a few visitors from Ireland which was great, got to conduct in the concerthall and got myself one of these. Its called a yard of ale. I am sure you have all heard of it. I saw it in an antique shop around the corner from the house whilst I was buying dog food. $20 bucks, thank you very much. It holds 3 pints, i haven't donw it with beer yet, i have had a few goes with water though and i keep soaking myself.


Here it is next to a wine bottle for scale

And here are some instructions I printed off stuck to the fridge (already with a beer stain for authenticity). Ill let you know how I get on....
