About a quarter of the way through this bowl of Strang in a 2003 smooth medium bend straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin and a black acrylic stem.
A few minutes away from smoking 1960s John Middleton Walnut in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo carving on the shank and a black acrylic stem. Working and listening to various things.
Last smoke of the day is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem.
I started my day with a bowl of C&D Pegasus in a Larsen trumpet with an acrylic stem. Today would have been my dad's 72nd birthday. It's been 10 years and it's still a tough one.
