The canal, partially iced over, and the pub, viewed from beneath a bridge.
We had a snow day today. Humuhumu's school was shut, the roads are an ice rink and Keiki has a fever anyway, so it made sense to stay home. Around 4 PM, however, we were all getting a bit restless so we decided to tog up and venture down the towpath to the one destination within easy walking distance: the pub. Drinks, snacks, friendly neighbours' doggies, and the roaring open fire were enjoyed by all.

Humuhumu, bloke and Keiki enjoy hot chocolate, beer and lime & soda respectively.
Keiki, me and Humuhumu. Keiki is about to chew on his slice of lime, which he enjoys. I am telling him to look at the camera, which I'm not doing myself. Humuhumu is pointing at the ceiling, for reasons unknown.

The taking glasses back to bar depends entirely on the pub I'm in. Long bars, few staff, no crowds = return to bar. But if it's busy, or there's no space on the bar, or they continually are round collecting glasses I leave them on the table on the grounds that returning them causes more dissaray than it solves.

These are eminently reasonable criteria for judging the circumstances under which to return glasses to the bar. I should have had a text bar in the poll to permit explanation.
