Home Brew

Had a fairly busy week, but just don't seem to be achieving anything!
Well..... That's not exactly true. Had the day off on wednesday so did a major sort out in the backroom and now I have somewhere nice to sit while I watch Home n
away. So while I'm sitting there watching it (which I actually haven't yet cos I've been too busy) I'm going to go through all my cd's and get them organised. There are still plenty of boxes to go though, so I can't go taking it too easy just yet.
I am today though. I went to Lucky Bay yesterday to see a friend. I took a couple of my home brews to try....... And guess what? They worked! Oh Boy did they ever work! I'm a little bit hungover today so I'm taking it pretty slow.
I had planned on doing some gardening and housework but that didn't happen. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
Weighed in this morning. Oh God! Am getting fatter by the minute! I'm trying to figure out if it still because of quitting smoking or just because I am a gluttonous pig! Think I might know the answer to that one....... Just gotta get my head in the right place to do something about it. I have the knowledge (and gawd knows I've got the equipment!) to be doing everything right, but knowing what needs to be done and doing it are 2 entirely different things, aren't they?

Kimba

Hello.

This is the brochure from the pub where I work at Kimba. Not sure about the technicalities but I think if you click or double click on the image it will enlarge it so you can read it. Kimba is 70km's north of Cleve, it takes me about 50 minutes to drive there. I know that sounds like a long time to just go that far, but there are SO many kangaroos on the road I take it REALLY easy.

The girls I work with are all really nice, the whole pub has such a lovely, friendly atmosphere. The renovation is quite recent, they won awards for the reno.

The first time I went to the pub was about 4 months ago for a birthday party. I drove over from Wallaroo (that would be a 5 - yes - FIVE hour drive!), and it was a shocking drive! It was raining, there were trucks everywhere, my phone went flat and I was super dooper grumpy when I finally arrived.

Gotta go. Am bottling another brew today. Have already got one pale ale bottled, should be ready by weekend. This one I'm bottling today is another pale. Want to get a couple of blondes down though. Am a bit handicapped by the shopping situation (or rather..... the LACK of a shopping situation!) here though. Will have to stock up when I go to PortLincoln next time. And am also struggling to find bottles.....

Till next week then.......

Baa-aaa-aaa

This is James Bond, the new ram. The red glow is from the tail lights of the ute.

When Scott went to put him in the holding pen he neglected to mention to James that the holding pen was actually meant to HOLD him, and James went a little bit berserk.

He charged up the race and jumped over the wall of the holding pen and landed on the wool table, knocking it over with him tangled up in it.

So there he was, wool table on it's side, legs poking through it, and Scott and I standing there thinking "Oh Shit! How we gonna get him out without breaking his legs!?".

But big, tough (?) Scott saved the day. He grabbed James by the horns and lifted him and the table upright and STILL managed to hang on to James while he kicked his way out of the table, then somehow, finally, managed to get him into the holding pen, this time to STAY PUT!

I took a little bit of movie of the flock. Hope it works for you to see, am still practicing with all this technology....... am a bit technology illiterate, but at least I'm having a crack hey! Watch closely at the start and you'll see the little lamb and if you look closely at the end you'll see James..

Next week I'll tell you about the garden..... OH! And my home-brew! Seeya!
