Of absinthe and frog leaping

king_pellinorBack on Sunday from the Morris 18-30 bash in Leeds. Very very good fun.
Lots of good dancing, even if it was rainy. Webley Leap was great fun, as ever, though it's a shame we didn't have the burning sticks this year.
The local beer was all good, especially the ones in the end barrels down in the cellar. The middle one I didn't like so much. I think they were from the Salamander brewery, but I don't know what they were called.
Lesson learnt: don't down a bottle of absinthe in one go.
I now seem to be Squire for next year, so I have to organise the next weekend in the Isle of Wight. I'm not quite sure how that happened, but on the Sunday people seemed to think I was Squire so I presumably agreed at some point. Should be interesting, though perhaps having three Squires and a foreman in the same household might be over-egging things, especially given that they're only two actual people :-)
I also have a bump on my head and a very painful bit at the base of my ribs on the left hand side. Not quite sure how that happened either, but I suspect that leapfrogging was involved. Oh well, it's my shield side so shouldn't affect the slaughtering of undead hordes this weekend.

Bacchus and I did extensive absinthe tasting earlier on in the year and found that it was definitely best served as cold as possible, over ice and diluted with lots water or another mixer. It's really not very nice at all neat:-p
