The beer tasting event was fun. The attendance was somewhat sparse due to illness and, perhaps, the fact that a mini blizzard blew in around the time we were scheduled to get going. That said, quality trumps quantity any day!

Highlights for me were the St. Peter's Winter Ale (1) contributed by [livejournal.com profile] jez_e_bel and the Scotch/Irish Brewing Co. Sgt. Major IPA (2) that I bought. [livejournal.com profile] ginny_t's raspberry lambic went well with her Guiness brownies and much fun was had with [livejournal.com profile] purplesofa's kiddy's lunch box flavoured sake.

(1) Dark, sweetish, complex Christmas cake notes. A good example of an English Christmas Ale.

(2) Medium bodied, bone dry with a real belt of hops. Classic IPA.

The bengals behaved themselves apart from Padmini's attempt to demolish the dictionary.

17 minutes in and Scotland seem to be trying to play up to the standard of, say, Latvia.

It's here!. Via [livejournal.com profile] owlfish, the trailer for HHGTTG. It actually looks quite promising.

I installed Skype a while ago but haven't had much cause to use it until recently largely because bugs stopped me using the Skypeout service. In the last few days though i have had a regular (free) conversation with a friend in melbourne and a Skypeout (Skype to landline - cheap) conversation with my parents in England. The quality is not perfect but it's good enough to be useable. All in all, a useful service and the price is right.
