I have used this stuff in the past in relation to gout with some success:

It seems to act as a diuretic and helps you piss like a fiend. I was able to order it via Amazon US (not sure if the France branch carries it). It requires you to drink a lot of water in conjunction so you can flush the uric acid out of your system and not get dehydrated.

I have found that being steady about drinking a gallon of water daily, gout attacks can be avoided. If I feel a hint of ache in a foot joint, I drink about forty ounces of water right away—I have been able to avoid a full on attack close to a year by being diligent about hydration.
That gives a whole new meaning to Pouring out a 40 for the Homies😂

Here's my morning festivities. Missed a couple of days. Company. Good friend from the Toronto symphony scene days, and former Principal Trumpet of the Victoria Symphony. Left when snow threatened, but also left a pipe smoker - gave him a spare Uncle Henry and he was thrilled. He was also responsible for feeding me too much take out food which I never eat because of late life eczema, a malady I'm sure many forum members are aware of :cry:. I find a cigar or two takes away the itch promptly, so I'm about to light up the Colt now.

Later on this morning I'll smoke my own basic English in my cob (yes, I have one, and love it especially for a long late morning English.) I'll have the Swisher later, and am now about to pour my second cup of cold coffee, there in my ubiquitous oversize mug. I'll check in later once I've decided on the afternoon/evening lineup.

Having G.L. Pease Haddo’s Delight in a Michael Parks SB Rhodesian 499, Pipe #1316, Grade IV (from early 2018), with a black, red, and grey swirl ebonite stem—a Comoy’s 499 and GBD 9252 were referenced for the shape.

I figured it was time to open this April 30, 2021 tin of Haddo’s since it was bulging and no longer sitting flat:

Early Morning in the EWA Pirate with some coffee, watching the sunrise before kiddos soccer games :)View attachment 343065
Man, with a little rearranging, that scene you pictured would make a fine closing hole to the 9th green of a fine course. Can't you just picture the waving flag delineating the cup at the back o the green, near the road, which becomes a gravel path leading to a picturesque clubhouse where a refreshing cuppa awaits, prior to a final assault on the back 9?

At lest that's what I was thinking upon viewing your snapshot! :)
