No more teaching, no more books...

I'm finished the school year at Aquinas. It feels a bit funny breaking for summer holidays in December, but I'm not going to complain! The weather has been lovely and in the high 20's the last couple of days. I've been able to sleep in and it feels a little less surreal now.

We had our Christmas Party at the Carlton Brewhouse in Abbotsford. It was a really fun evening, with a sit down dinner, drinks provided and a dance floor. Some staff members burned holes in that floor.... it was awesome!!
The Carlton Brewery is a very large and important fixture in that suburb. It's where all of the Carlton Draught, Victoria Bitters,  Melbourne Bitters and Fosters Beer are brewed in this part of Australia.

The venue was pretty cool, with all kinds of historic displays and vintage beer posters decorating the walls and other spaces.

Models of the famous Carlton Clydesdales. 

This breed of horse played a big part in building parts of Australia in the 1800's: agriculture and building dams. In addition to working with milkmen and green grocers to bring locals their milk and fruit and veggies, Clydesdales delivered beer to public houses well into the 20th century. 

This poor horse had an accident with his eye.
