Gills 15 Minute Challenge

Take three knives and four cups. You have to use three cups and three knives to create a bridge of sorts to support the weight of another cup.

Notes:

The three cups cannot touch.
The knives should be of equal weight (same kind).
You must use all three cups and all three knives.

Good luck, here's how not to do it.

MEAD

Oh yes, I'm brewing again. It is awesome! I know a guy who's really into brewing and had a workshop. I went along and bought a starter kit. I only have one airlock at the moment. I want a second batch on the go, so I'm going to try and make my own. Wish me luck.

I'll keep you updated with it's progress.

In the meantime, meet Rupert. He was made with cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, oranges and lemons. I used a champagne yeast. It will be quite strong. I'm going to try the same recipe with a bread yeast for a lower alcohol content and compare the taste of the two.

Working in a construction site

My branch was being refurbished. Basically reducing the building by half but also making the place look nice.

The branch does look fab! However I still maintain it should have been closed during the refurbishment. Here are a couple of pictures to show what was lying around the teachers area. I tripped a few times on wires. I made my opinion know but there's nothing I could do. I'm just a minion.

I was really angry one day when the whole place stunk of glue. I got high and had a mother of a headache.

Oh yeah, and someone like me with breathing/allergy problems working in a place full of wood dust. I was not pleased.

What's done is done.

Coffee hiatus

I managed longer than a month off coffee at work. I was really proud of myself! I don't have a coffee everyday, but I do have a couple a week. Last week I was sick, so I had coffee nearly everyday.

It is good to relax before class and not stress about making time together a coffee.
