    Hello friends and fellow TELPers! Today's brew is a spooky concoction, a departure from my usual Cascade-hopped ale. In honor of the season, I've put in a little bit of cloves, and a little pumpkin, plus a few elfin mystery spices. There's plenty for all, and if you don't choose to drink alcohol, you'll find that the magical brew contains none. For the others (are you listening, GP and Peter2?) you'll find that the alcohol content is sufficiently high to give you a pleasant buzz with no hangover. (Yes, Dragon, I got the idea for the pumpkin ale from Wild Bill over in Hayward.)
    Alas, I must drink the alcohol-free version, since my ophthalmologist has me on antibiotics following the cataract surgery I had the other day. I can't see very well out of my left eye yet, but each day brings a clearer picture.
    So drink up, everybody! As usual, Bones, I've made a magic Elf never-emptying keg, enough for everybody. (And to all you friends who haven't been around lately: look in your mailbox; you'll find a special, small keg just for you and yours--similarly never-emptying.)
    Love to all,
    Elf

    Very glad that your surgery appears to have worked well, and like Bones, I wish you a speedy and complete recovery.

    The big news from our end is that we've moved house. I still enjoy my work, but it's not quite the fun it was, and I'm (at last!) thinking of a retirement - partially at least. I might keep one of my jobs, but I'm thinking of giving up the other either at the start or end of 2015. So this house is smaller and a lot more manageable than the previous pile, and will be a fair bit cheaper to run. Work starts tomorrow on installing the new central heating . . .

I'm not an ale expert and even not a native English, so I pretty don't understand what I'm going to drink ...

    but it tastes great!

    As for the surgery: mechanical operations, that's the field where our medicine excels. So I not only hope in your fast and full recovery ... I more expect it to happen
