Septembeerfest

Septembeerfest last weekend was great fun, we only got around about four of the beers, but they were all great.

In keeping with the harvest theme, there was free pumpkin-beer on tap (the kegs in the background were to refill the pumpkins as required, and yes, the guy who brewed the beer also grew the vessels):



Here is an example of pure brilliance: the ultimate in simple, functional, bare-bones mobile pubs, can't have a festival without one.




The harvest season and impending Halloween (which is apparently a pretty big deal here) is becoming noticeable throughout the town. While pumpkin-carving kits have been in the shops for a few weeks, this last week the pumpkins appeared in earnest:



On a totally different topic from harvesting stuff - Mort finally got a picture of a snake, although it was a dead one. That's the lens cap as a size reference, which is only really useful for those of you who know how big our camera is.


All that talk of dead snakes makes a nice segue into the following contradiction in contraception:



See the problem?



Also, we just bought waterproof pants that claim "... the size of a Gaseous Water Vapor Molecule is much smaller than the size of a Liquid Water Molecule... ". Awesome.
