2nd bowl of afternoon.
Sturks Balkan. Sturks, in Cape Town is not only Sth Africa's oldest tobacconist, but might be its oldest continually running business. Gift from a generous mate with a SA background.
In a tiny, previously unsmoked 1914 saddle-stemmed Bulldog, with an orific bit. image.jpgStamps on shank PSC in oval (can't find what the initials stand for) with London Made under that.
Silver band with Birmingham date letter upper case "P" for 1914. And AD and JD for Auguste Delacour and Joseph Delacour, silversmiths. image.jpg

Good day all. In the Falcon with a twisted stem and a meerschaum bowl, I am having some Mac Baren mixture - Scottish Blend. I am returning to this from time to time. I find that (if smoked slowly) it is an interesting multi-aromatic and spicy blend. But if smoked fast it can be cruel.
Unfortunately, tobacco is not the only thing burning lately. In the past days the country has been hitten hard by heavy fires in many places. Great areas of land have been destroyed including properties (houses, fields, animals) plus forests e.t.c.
A big disaster, economical, ecological and aesthetical.
We shall overcome... again... I guess.
But that's a pity.
A pipe friend comes in my mind. He ends his posts with the wish "Let us always be standing on our feet and have our bowls full"...
That's a comfort.
Happy weekend good people.

Thanks, Brendan. A small pat on the back for getting through another week ?

Christos, Australia went through a horrific bushfire season Dec2019-Feb2020 and California is going through the same disastrous experience as Greece right now. I hope the residents and brave fire-fighters in both countries stay safe.

Horse Brass Pub is still here but smoke free these days I'm afraid. Oregon laws now forbid all indoor smoking. Still a great place for a pint, snack and visiting with cool people though.
Well it’s good to hear it’s still around, it certainly had the best selection of beer on tap and a great atmosphere. Excellent fish & chips too.

Guys guys guys, it’s not about the Premiere League, it’s about Leyton Orient.?
Are they still going?? You're quite right of course, much more entertaining games to watch in the lower divisions. Although as an Arsenal supporter, it's more about playing the game 'for the games sake' rather than the winning.?
