When I moved from England back to Canada with the kids for 2 years my then-6-year-old daughter was mortified to be offered some apple cider by a friend's mother. Cider here in the westcountry is, shall we say, just a wee bit fermented.The "scumble" Terry Pratchett mentions in the Discworld books is a take on scrumpy (a type/brand of local cider), which can, in Pratchett's words, lead to happy brain death. I love the stuff, but can only handle one pint at a time at most.
This is also an excellent place to be for real ales. I can't drink any mainstream beers because they're so, so awful compared to a proper real ale, especially straight from the keg. I'm afraid I've been spoiled!
We had plum real ale the other day, can't remember the name but it was at a pub with a real ale festival. Really gorgeous, 4.3 % and as it's a fruit ~ part of my 5 a day

As someone who is new enough to beer to really enjoy the novelty of the various flavors, I checked out New Glarus Brewing Company's website. Aside from loving their philosophy on social issues, their beer looks like something worth trying. Too bad you can only get it in Wisconsin!
It was a gorgeous spring day here today, so I went on a nice long walk through Ottawa. Here's a couple random low-quality cell phone pictures, one of Chinatown, and one of the downtown skyline.
Nice. I love seeing images of other states/country's versions of "Chinatown."
A backwards hail mary taken on my 0.3 mp camera phone while sprinting across the street to catch my bus gave me this happy accident:
Though I think I'm overdoing the vignetting in post. Hard to control, now that I no longer have a fixed contrast monitor.

That's really lovely, and almost other-worldly.
Ours is pretty small, since we're a relatively small city that hasn't seen that much immigration from Asian countries (Middle Eastern immigrants seem to be drawn here more than most) but it's nice for what it is. We've got nothin' on Toronto, though.
And Bears, you know that eerie wind sound effect they'd always play on TOS when they were on some mysterious, empty planet? Yeah, I'm hearing that when I look at your picture.
An expatriate Irishman told me he once sent an American beer to a laboratory in Dublin to find out why it tasted so godawful. He got a report back in the mail a week later:
"Congratulations: Your horse is pregnant."

Finished a cross stitch last night:
On a sadder note, I finally got around to burying my cat's ashes.
Eddie and Kira both loved azeleas. Eventually, I'll have a little headstone here for both of them.

I'm sorry about you cat, Kira.

^ OMG how cute is that?!?!?!?
Kira, I've said it before, but i'll say it again....so sorry about your kitties. {{{squish}}} And the cross-stitch is so cool!
I wish i had my dawgs cremated instead of burying them in the backyard. When we move i won't be able to bring them with me. That makes me sad.

Ahha ~ realised you had to bow to the East, eat you flip flop, recite the alphabet backwards ~ or just press any buttons that you can

So K, with all the henna tats you are doing.....are you getting close to having a permanent tat done?
But Randi that would hurt
and I wouldn't be able to change it every couple of weeks 
Still can't get any of the Men to let me draw on them... and Cat won't stay still long enough
Its a kids tattoo kit. Let me see if I can find something like it. (its really fun)

its like this, but its not only for girls and you yourself have to do the blowing. it was back in the 2000s so they probably don't sell it anymore.
