An Evening with Jeff Lucas

A day spent at home following all the travelling to and from and around Dublin over the last four days. I spent much of the day dealing with emails and catching up on quite a bit of work for my company, Complex Services Limited, which now has quite a number of clients and matters in progress. The weather was extremely hot today, continuing the glorious weather we experienced over in Ireland. This afternoon I mowed the inside lawns which had grown quite a bit since we left on Sunday. Tonight the House Group decamped to St. John's Church of the Jeff Lucas Evening. We had hoped for a good turn out but instead the group consisted mainly of the normal house group members with a couple of members of the clergy. A little disappointing especially as we were hoping to use this as a means of encouraging people to come to Spring Harvest next year. The booking lines open next week for Minehead 2011 and I do hope we can get a good group together. The evening ended with Richard and I putting the world to rights over a couple of pints in the Lion's Head. I tried the Guinness which was pleasant and cool but which also is much gassier than that we had in Dublin. It is definitely true that Guinness can never taste as good as that brewed at St. James's Gate using water from the Wicklow Mountains.
