La última día de Navidad, mi esposa me regaló dos juegos de vasos pequeños para cerveza, para que yo pudiera prepararnos catas de cerveza como las hacen las cervecerías.

Last Christmas, my wife gave me two sets of small beer glasses, so that I would be able to set us up beer tasting flights like the brew pubs do.

You can get a decent night's sleep then :) - ian-hill, Aug 1, 2014
Have you always lived there? - rac1, Aug 1, 2014
I don't live in Barrow. We have sun until about midnight in the middle of the summer, but there are always at least a couple of hours of darkness. Moved here 15 years ago. - AnnRon, Aug 1, 2014
Do you like it there, Ann? - rac1, Aug 2, 2014
Yes, I love my town and the natural beauty of the place. But the winter can drag on. - AnnRon, Aug 2, 2014
