Home brews and balls!!

This week was a momentous occasion as Ron finally got to label and then taste his home brewed beer. It's been bubbling away in the laundry for the last 4 weeks and finally the Bavarian Lager fermentation process was deemed as being done !!! I guess you want to know what it's like?

Well the verdict is pretty darn good!!!


You'll have to come up to KL quickly if you want to sample the exquisite taste of a good year and a fine brew. Thanks Darius and Kristi for setting him up with the bottles and brewing extract sent all the way from Oz. We're hoping that we can talk Mum into bringing up another in her suitcase when she comes in a few weeks time.

Well where does 'The Ball' fit in, well Ron and I went to the Great British Ball last night at the Hilton Hotel here in KL with our friends Bob and Francis. Before we left our Chinese neighbour came over to take some photos and here we are with their two little boys, Jarrod and Jeremy.

It was a great night of food, wine, dancing and socialising with those from the United Kingdom. Bob, as a Scotsman, wore his kilt so it was hilarious to see him and all the other male Scots on the dance floor swirling around in their skirts!!! I danced with a man in a skirt. They brought over a harpist from Wales who played during pre dinner drinks as well as a group from Birmingham called the 'Blues Brothers' who were really entertaining, and they even had a group of Malaysian students who had formed a Scottish band including some playing the bagpipes. The food was excellent and the evening was fun but we called it quits about 1.30am as it wasn't due to finish until 3am!!! We must be getting old.
