Today was a testing day for the black boy peach wine I’ve had on the go for a while now. It’s been sitting clearing for the last few weeks and has a way to go yet but a quick test proved it to be pretty fine stuff. Given a year of sitting it’ll likely settle down into a very nice wine. There may well be method to this madness. In a similar vein I started a new wash for spirits as well. It’d been at least two weeks since I was in the brewing supplies place so figured it was time to do something. That and we polished off the last of the bourbon while in Auckland and with school starting I’m likely to need the reinforcement.

While in Auckland I found a model shop that sold Gundam models like those I discovered in Japan back in 2002. Was so stoked I bought two to keep me happy for a while.

Our kitten is now at that age when vets and the woman of the house believe it is time to get neutered. It concerns me how eager women are to get males snipped. It’s messed up. What was worse is that I was given the job of taking the wee guy to the vet and I felt a right shit about leaving him there. The look I got when I went to pick him up kinda said it all really so I’m now actively working on getting him to transfer that hate to the one who initiated it all. Men of any species know the score…
