07-04-06 It's been a while, sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been out enjoying my four-day long weekend. Much of it was spent with Angela doing something or another. I got new tea in North Van. We rode the mini-train in Stanley Park and walked around the seawall. She even helped me wash my car (twice) because she's such a sweetheart. As a whole it was quite enjoyable. I've completed my awesome modifications on my desk. That is, I took an old desk that I no longer needed and found a way to fit its spacious drawers into my newer desk; in a way that is aesthetically pleasing, no less. Mom and Dad have started opening the bottles of Brambleberry wine that were brewed last year. Overall, it's a very dry wine with a fruity aroma. It takes some getting used to. However, given that it was brewed from scratch by family from the many raspberries and blackberries that grow wild all around Port Coquitlam (and as such, is free) one certainly can't complain that it it but an "okay" wine. This is not to mention that the wine is only six months old: it may get even better as it ages further. Now that I've shared a bottle with some friends they agree that my Dad's estimation of "10-12%" is probably a little low. As Apu said to Manjula, "It's bound to get you pretty hammered". So, hats off to my family for all their hard work. The fact that there are two more vintages yet on the way (Dandelion and Peach) fills me with alcoholic anticipation. Back to work tomorrow. I can't wait until the next weekend, even if it is only three days away. Posted on July 4, 2006 10:31 PM |
