A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2008 Kramer’s Father Dempsey in an undated unbranded straight black sandblasted short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem. Going to work now.
Bowl of Mac B Scottish Mix in . . .a Peterson of course.
Then finished night with Wilke Crystal Palace in dedicated English GBD 
Been a busy day - no time to post.
Relaxing now with a bowl of my own light English crumble cake in a registration era Stanwell
@Tar Wheel Happy belated B-day!

Collected another 2 bags of rubbish during my volunteer day with the Don Catchment Rivers Trust yesterday and got another volunteer day with Chesterfield Litter Picking Group on Saturday. Getting my bedroom mirror hung up today and going to Mum and Dad's in the afternoon; looking forward to another scrap with Merrylegs
Got a recycling project planned as I've made some cushions for my chairs using repurposed Hello Fresh food insulation and going to make some cushion covers for them.
Met James again yesterday; he shared his brownie bites and his packet of Clan with me. He likes trying my Cavalier hat on while he smokes his pipe!
Took a bag of non council plastic recycling to Newbold and been to check the flood management works I helped to build; they're doing their job
Met another pipe smoker in Chesterfield yesterday; he was smoking St Bruno in his pipe but the pipeful of baccy he let me have was Turner (a cheap rolling tobacco used for cigarettes); I gave it a homeless man outside Gregg's...
I'm thinking of using the tartan Clan packets for card making; a big shame I don't get them while litter picking

GH&Co Scotch Mixture in a Savinelli 111KS Roma.
If I don't take my pipe out, I can't smoke it!!!
I found out that Jamestown takes its name from the James River (the longest in Virginia) and has no connection with King James I (the author of A Counterblaste to Tobacco). It's ironic that Jamestown's largest export was King James's biggest hate
I can imagine tobacco being treated like Himalayan Balsam in the future (an invasive species I'm used to pulling out during my river conservation work).

Now smoking Wilke No. 222 in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Have enough left for a few more bowls.
A splendid Brebbia, an AdFL 2022 with aged and very light briar with inspiration from Tsuge
A third of the way through this bowl of KBV Father’s Day in a post-1964 black sandblasted medium bend Parker Super BriarBark 109 group 4 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Tobacco and pipe of today. When smoked pipe is coloring up nicely!
Haunted Bookshop to start the smoking day. After work was Irish Flake. Goodnight smoke was a first, and promising taste of WCC Rohxgaroux, courtesy of a generous forumite.
Morning smoke of Mc Barens HH Burley flake rubbed out in a Castello G Old Antiquari long Liverpool
March is the month when the ethnic stew that is my family celebrates thrice. My wife's heritage is Irish and Italian, and mine is Greek. And so, we have St. Patrick's Day, St. Joseph's Day, and Greek Independence Day, to commemorate with traditional foods. Yesterday it was corned beef and cabbage.
Linda worked all day on the cb&c and loaves of soda bread.
It was a magnificent feast! The whole mishpocheh stuffed themselves (our daughter, son-in-law, the grandkids and my sister). Looking forward to St. Joe's cannoli and zeppole next week, and Bakaliaros Skordalia (batter-fried cod and garlic spread) on March 25th. for Greek Independence Day.
After our St. Pat's dinner, I indulged in a bowl of 20-year-old Old Dublin in my Peterson 2002 POTY, both purchased for me, by my wife, at the Grafton Street shop in 2002. A pint of Guinness was my tipple.
