Had "tea" evening meal, whiffing on a mini White Cohiba cigar, enjoyed my DD mix in my Butchers Boy earlier.
Listening to BBC propaganda the chains of the olde world Europe , enslaving us to the EU bureaucratic tyranny, I am for Brexit but no hope, Churchill & my Father's would turn over in their graves at this sell out to soviet EU !!!
Had some consumer therapy & gifted myself nearly 30 pipes....a nice Blakemar, a fine folk Missouri Meerschaum corncob, a few pear East European folk pipes, a Meerschaum cigar holder, & 24 Chinese corncobs to be customised in my pipe dreams
It has been overcast & light shower, with Gothic thunderstorms forecast for the Remain/ Brexit farce.

Almost finished smoking Sir Walter Raleigh in a medium bend 2002 MM Legend cob. I did finish work though. That made the very persistent Suzy happy as she's now by my side. Molly got a few minutes of play time, and now she's happily having a late snack.

First smoke of the day: GLP Abingdon in the Pipechat POY 2010, a bent rhodesian by Pietenpauw. Frankie and Pippin taking turns chasing each other up and down the stairs AND all over the furniture - must be the Latakia.

My new Original Missouri Corn Cob Freehand Extra Large Bent Pipe , that I am savouring with a wee drop of Benedictine & my best 3 jar " morning glory" mix for my elevenses pick me up, it smells like fresh Spring earth full of fecundity and promise & tastes like some finest early morning fried bacon. I am King of all I survey with my new corncob, like Mr. Brer Rabbit in his solitary cage, waiting for the Easter Sunday family dinner...  A little break from the grind to lift a pipe or cigar & breath & feel free for for a few moments of eternity. To listen to a holy book & holy music daily, eyeless in Gaza, with no promised land to hope in & heaven a vain forlorn hope. To sit & meditate & contemplate on a crucifix with no false words . To raise a little cup of kindness to the silvery blue sky by day & the black stars by night To be slowly consumed by fleas & flies and laugh gently with the wind & water & birds & bees. The last of my line against many foes, I fear not. |

My Original Missouri Corn Cob Freehand Extra Large Bent Pipe on/off all afternoon on my " morn " mix like bacon buttys , I could eat them all day, but I diet or fast or whatnot, a pawn of the gods....
the wretcheder one is, the more one smokes; and the more one smokes, the wretcheder one gets—a vicious circle. Quote.
the wretcheder one is , the more one drinks, and the more one drinks , the wretcheder one gets - a vicious circle.
the wretcheder one is , the more one sexes , and the more one sexes , the wretcheder one gets - a vicious circle.
the wretcheder one is , the more one prays, and the more one prays , the wretched one gets - a vicious circle.
The answer, do not create bad habits - vicious circle .
Happiness is fooling yourself your not unhappy , " laughter is the best medicine " the family bible the Readers Digest says.
