Hi Don, what do you think of HU Great Dixter ? I like it very much , but it is not to everyone's taste , bye. I enjoyed it very much, Stan. Hints of Grousemoor, but much better in my opinion. I may have to acquire some. Is it of German origin? Hi Don, the Great Dixter is from Hans in Germany, available until recently from this online shop, shop.hu-tobacco.de.hu-tobacco.de/epages/63080810.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/63080810 , but he is after another international retailer to sell his exciting innovative & novel blends, I hope to enjoy more of his fine tobaccos in the future GW, bye for now, |

51F and cloudy. Expected 72F high would tie the highest on record for the day. Starting off with Frog Morton on the Town in a 1/4 bent Mark Tinsky Black and Tan Rhodesian, drinking Trader Joe's coffee with a little dark chocolate on the side before sunrise. Going to get in a walk this morning before rain returns this afternoon.

Morning all.
Foggy day in Philly town. Temps are mild, but visibility is shite. Good think I'm not flying a plane in it.
Not much on the agenda for the day. Might get the shop vac out and clean out the Jeep. It's in need of a little TLC while the weather is nice. Dinner plans with some friends tonight, but that's about it.
Puffing on a DGT'd bowl of Corn Cob Pipe.

G'day folks, I have been lunting in the cold grey yard most of the afternoon, with a few bowls of my Tom mix favourite in my Blakemar Aristocrat poker, chatting to some neighbours & passers bye, with some great brass band classics playing, doing some handiwork, I call Pop, "Jude" now I have renamed him, he preferred to stay indoors a house dog in his elder years. Going for an omelette for evening tea at a takeaway "Chippy", bye for now.

Going for an omelette for evening tea at a takeaway "Chippy", bye for now. G'day Stan - I notice that you now call Pop, Jude. Just a friendly bit of my own experience seeing as a neighbor of mine tried the same thing with his elder pup... the neighbor's dog had become comfortably happily accustomed to being called kalix all his life, and not hearing that comfortable call of his name anymore was disconcerting to him, never hearing those sounds uttered from his humans voice - it was as if Kalix had become suddenly lost not hearing the always-found sound of his name, and was unable to find himself in the old familiar loved ways. Neighbor sought my consult (my animal reputation precedes me around these parts) when his dog had changed in a depressed way, took my advise and resumed with "Kalix" - all was well again. Even though your voice tonality and body language remains the same, something discernible to our very intelligent and sensitive animals will sense the difference in overall communication cues. Just a few thoughts of dog emotional-psychology from a caring piper :-) D&R TAPS VIP and a cold ice tea after several hours of laborious tree trimming and mulch grinding... now to spread it around after a brief reprieve. |
