Fish 'N' Pubs

Last Friday we celebrated a birthday in the traditional style - going to the guy's house and catching and eating all of the rainbow trout in his pond:



We took a pavlova (no mean feat on bicycles), which was extremely popular and raised all sorts of questions like, "What's in the cream filling?" "Err... Cream."


On Saturday we went on an extensive pub-crawl to Eugene and beyond, in a yellow school bus with so little leg room it constituted cruel and unusual transport. This has to be both the best and worst utility I've seen on a bus, but probably a good idea when there are three kegs of beer in one of the seats to "tide people over between pubs":



The first place we went to was also the most awesome, in my mind. The Brewer's Union in Oakridge is a British-style pub with really good beer of authentic style served in the appropriate way at the right temperature. Bangers and mash for lunch. Also, all of the outside chairs are rocking-chairs.


Another place we stopped at had a brilliant concept - a little box to put people in if they insist on talking on their cell-phone:


And this is how much of a sock I can knit on a pub-crawl:
