A surprisingly good day. At work, we had a 'team communication session'.
Yes, this shoukd cause fear in the heart of any engineer. However, my boss
is keen on building teams through having a laugh. I hosted a quiz fosuced
on animal skeletons. It seemed to get people laughing and interested ehich
was good. Then there was bingo. Oh dear... naff but fun at the same time.
It helped that the caller was using the 70s style calls. All slightly
wrong - "number 15, young and keen." Well, very wrong. I finished off
Freaks and Geeks. A truely wonderful TV programme which lewves you wanting
more.. but that is probably what keeps it great. Young Seth Rogan is
always confusing though. The rest of the evening was spent with Anonradio
and some rather lovely Belgian beer. I feel the need to go to Belgium if
only for beer. So many different beers with different flavours, at worst
they are merely ok. Well other than a flanders red I tried in Poland. I
think the barrel had been in a bit long and I was a little surprised by it
being sour. I do enjoy a sour beer but that one tasted off. Sad times. I
miss Piraate. Not just for the name (I do love the word pirate in
Flemish/Dutch/German, it is fun to say) but for being a strong golden ale.
I had a bottle which just left me at that perfect drunk level. Life is
golden, music feels better and the sun shines that bit more. Delightful. I
need a bootful. Well with some Westvleteren trappist beer. Only available
from the monestry. Its tasty stuff. I am awaiting a new delivery of beer
for the bank holiday weekend. Hopefully there are some interesting craft
ones in there!
