May your surgeon be skillful!
Heal up well!
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Burley Flake #2 in a Rossi Mezzanotte Bent Brandy.
Smoking some Drucquer and Sons Levant mixture in a very large Ser Jacopo. Drinking some Hayman's gin on ice. 
Last one for me today,
2015 Laurel Heights in a Kai Nielsen

Thanks man, it was a great smoke!
Enjoyed some low calorie snacking, and am smoking year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking Wilke High Hat in an undated black sandblasted straight made in France Silvermatch Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to You Bet Your Life.
@Scottmi Nantwich was fantastic! Got to meet 2 re-enactors I'd smoked a clay with before, at Bolsover Castle in 2019 & Nottingham Pipe Show 2022. It was VERY windy the day I went to see the Sealed Knot at Bolsover Castle; Dad says I spent all day trying to light my clayYou bet it is, Dan!
Now smoking Wilke Edwin’s Burley in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 Shamrock bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This blend is Wall Street with much less perique (10%) than the regular W.S. Working and listening to Gunsmoke starring William Conrad.
@Backwoods Briar Nice pipe and Five Brothers seems a popular baccy choice for a clay. A long stem clay is best for Jason the blacksmith to light with an ember from his forge
Going to meet him at the Viking re-enactments at Cromford Mill and Elvaston Castle this year; I've told him I'll have my pipe ready!

@onepyrotec I love the tin art! My favourite is Sillem's Musketeer; smoked 2 tins of it in my clays.
Finished work for the day, fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger, and with any luck, my last smoke of the day will be year 2014 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 saddle stem. It all depends on how much time it takes dealing with the ferals. It's been raining for a while, and that causes extra work to get the ones who show up eat in peace.
Good luck with that Carol, wishing you a speedy recovery
Morning everyone, I started the day with PS Bullseye in a K Super Grain with shank logo, I’m really loving this blend and fortunately have some more on the way.
I’m getting ready to walk WeeBay with Dark Annie in the rusticated Yello Bole with yellow circle logo and Solani 633 in the other YB which is made of Algerian briar. I’ll finish my coffee first, Lavazza Rosso today.

Amphora Original in a Mark Twain.
Finishing up some reading this morning and some leftover Evening Flake. Coffee black. And a quote out of the book.
“But experience is he best teacher, hunger good sauce, and I really think to be acquainted with misery contributes to the enjoyment of happiness, and to know one's self greatly facilitates the knowledge of mankind. One thing I often console myself with, and that is, the earth will lie as hard upon the monarch as it will upon the hunter, and I have no assurance that it will lie upon me at all. My bones may, in a few years, or perhaps days, be bleaching upon the plains in these regions, like many of my occupation, without a friend to turn even a turf upon them after a hungry wolf has finished his feast.”
