I'm lost; my phone says I live at number 64, cor, I didn't know that. But it has got a nice photo of the pub across the road, and my local shop with staff having a ciggies break.
Might be useful leverage

You sound like someone who needs all the leverage he can get.

Well, time to get the wasaail table out.
I hope Pegasus likes the decorations
Scrape, scrape, hammer, hammer.
Time to put up the Christmas lights.

Lets see where did I store those mugs?
Ah yes. Shagbark quickly ggoes and retrieves his mugs and sets them next to the wassail table which he bolts to the foredeck.
shagbark deftly positions the barrel next to the wassail table and attaches the pump to use filling the mugs.
fills the first mug and samples the wassail
GAAAAH 
what has happened to this stuff 
He quickly makes a sign and affixes it to the barrels 
do not use . Then he returns to the brewhouse.

Hickory sneaks in, removes the sign and pumps five mugs full which he leaves on top of the stand. He then dissapears back the way he came to watch from the shadows.

I'll paint the Foredeck all frosty colours in keeping with the season, then repaint it after New Year

Thanks for setting up, Shagbark.
I read somewhere that wassail was usually mulled cider -- at first. I'm sure that some much stronger beverages have been used in recent times.

Indeed! Very nice! Haven't seen anything like it since we last saw phosphorescence 
And this wassail has a nice touch of goat's milk to it - but what's that other - er - thing it has a smack of?

I have a modem trying to fail here. Lets see if this goes through

I wonder what hickory will think when he finds people actually drinking this stuff 
The Foredeck

It's pretty nice. I taste several spices -- cinnamon, cloves, maybe a little ginger. I wonder, though, what effect the things I *don't* taste will have on me.

That's exactly right, Shagbark.
It's why we look to you for keeping the holiday traditions going here.:-0
