Cleaned a few pipes, and am half way through this bowl of year 2014 Astley’s No. 55 in a 1915-1920 straight smooth dark brown BBB Own Make 150 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking 2018 Sutliff Walnut Match in a 1990s smooth brown medium bend briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. Unless the ferals need a lot of traffic copping, I'll end the day with this smoke.
Survived Christmas! Having some morning coffee from the new Moka my wife got me/us. The old one wouldnt work on an induction stove. Smoking some White Horses in a Kai volcano...thats my guess at the shape.
Peterson Sherlock Holmes in a MM county gent, with a cup of tea
What pipe is this? Looks awesome!
- As T S Eliot nearly said: "The feeding of cats is a difficult matter: it isn't just one of your holiday games.". Every single cat who has shared our roof, has always expressed a desire to have some of whatever we're having for dinner (and often surprised us, by really liking it); all except the present incumbent, Cassie. Not even cooked meats for her. Kibble and wobbly bits in jelly in pouches, is apparently What Cats Eat - until yesterday, when the duck of our Christmas dinner was, apparently, A Comestible Of Interest. She ate as much as I cared to give her. I shall offer her more when she descends for lunch today, but it's odds-on she'll just sniff it disdainfully and give me A Look, as if I had offered her sprouts instead. It's a point of honour with cats to be unpredictable, I find. Anyway, the compliments of the season to you, your good lady, and all the felines.
Now smoking GL Pease Haddo's Delight / Cornell and Diehl Folklore In the Former Oversized Apple. 
Mac Baren Vanilla Cream in a Kaywoodie Shellcraft. Dark roast on the side.
Had some Aniseed Twist in the Color Duke last evening.
Pegasus in a cob in the fog, with black coffee.
We also made duck and our cat was pacing below the counter while it rested until we gave her some
EMP in the Cobbit again, have had a lazy start today, which is what boxing day is for. A "mocka" on the side (instant coffee and cocoa powder)
Before lunch. Smoking dt# Skipper's Flake, in a MM Cobbler. With a glass of Spanish red wine. While listening to some piano composers. I'm getting melancholy, I think I'm going to cut roses in the garden, I don't have a garden, but hey, I'll cut something, maybe a Toscano. It's wonderful, the sidewalks are full of fresh dog shit, you can make little dolls out of shit, they are fresh. You can tell it's Christmas. I was thinking, if it never snows here, you could throw fresh dog shit as a substitute for snow. Yes, I know. It's ugly to talk about fresh shit at Christmas.

Sigmund, Beautiful coffee maker. I have one just like it with 6 cups, although I would have preferred one with only two cups. Enjoy a good coffee my friend.
Covent Garden Blend my wife brought me from London in a sandblasted-looking HIS lovat.
