Likely my last smoke of the day, which is Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Reading about Bing, and am about 80-90 pages from finishing the book.
Half way through this bowl of Old Colonial in a medium bend beater 1979 Aalborg natural freehand made by Nording with a black vulcanite stem. Doing a little research.
Computer went all funny last evening and wouldn't let me post after dinner (no, not the wine!) - OK this morning.

By eck it's parky outside....a result of the cold front which moved in while I was snug as a bug in bed. Apart from one rumble of thunder there were no ''severe storms, damaging winds and flash flooding'' as forecast....thank goodness they got that wrong.
It's now 18c breezy and overcast with some light rain so all the windows are open and the aircon off. It's to warm up again as the week goes on so summer isn't over yet.
The dogs aren't too keen on going out so while they remain sleeping I'm having another coffee and finishing off the bowl of Virginia I started last night.

Smoking some Dunhill Vanilla Cavendish in a Peterson Deerstalker. The wind has been howling around this part of the Rock, Southern Avalon, for the last 2 days. But life is good still keeping it smokey.
Good morning, Good people.

Good Morning, Gentlemen! It's one (1) degree above freezing with snow showers early and rain for later on in the day. Today I have to make an appointment at the veteran's clinic and do some more work on my model railroad cars. All cats have been fed and Grover went out for a while, but decided to come in after a few minutes. As usual, he's back in my chair.Now smoking the last full bowl of HH Pure VA Flake in the Stanwell "Silver Mount" with a fresh mug o' coffee tucked under my jacket.
