Fuck Flickr. I’m fed up with having my photos held hostage.
You want to know just how frothy these beers are? Take a look at this.
**Beer:** London Bitter (Brubox)
**Brewery:** Pete
**Strength:** ?.?%
The pint glass containing the other half pint of froth is out of shot.
I think I may have made a mistake at some point.
(but that’s not the point really. It’s a learning experience.)
My sister bought me a Brubox for my birthday. Here’s what it looked like a few weeks ago when I set it up:
And here’s how the bottles look now:
The brubox generated 17 bottles of beer in total. I’ve already had a couple over the last week. I found it quite difficult to get the last few pints out of the brubox without whipping up all the yeasty deposits, so I’m expecting some variety in the quality from bottle to bottle, though the majority should be fine. Indeed, of the two bottles that I have tried so far, one of them was (I think) the last one out. I wouldn’t say that it was revolting exactly, but it certainly seemed very strong and very fizzy. The other one was delicious though.
I think I’m going to wait until spring before I do another batch, because otherwise the garage will be too cold for fermentation. The next one will be a mild or porter, I think.
Over the course of the last year, Maisy’s repeated use of a shortcut across the garden has resulted in the erosion of a *Maisy Tunnel*, through which she can dart at phenomenal velocity. I tried taking a photo of her rocketing through, but I think I’m going to need stronger light and a higher shutter speed for this one.

We decided it was time to replace the spring calendar.
The tags for the spring calendar were affixed using blu-tack which is not very user-friendly for a two year old. For the summer calendar, I have made little pockets for the tags to slot into. Let’s see if this works better.
