On shore! Opening a bottle of Pinot after finally conquering the flu.

Ashore4us! If at first you don't succeed......

A glass of Pinot Grigio with toes in the sand. I'll sleep tight tonight.

Once again, it took me a while, but I just wandered ashore … 🙂.

I've tried three different things. Long week. Maybe I'll try this weekend.

Nice and chewy.

I'll have some caramels soaked in bourbon.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Got it. A long and winding road, but at least you know it when you get there. We are wiping sweat from our brows and staggering, but it was a fun trip.

Getting the hang of these after a couple years of efforts. On shore with a glass of red wine.

Late start but solved. Thank you to @ajk, who helped de-goo-ify my brain!
And another thank you to @DrTom, who urged me to stop self-diagnosing and get an actual, you know, professional opinion. My "cold" turned out to be pneumonia!

OMG

I don't know whether to thank you or curse you. I don't usually like sugar with whiskies, but I'm going to make an exception.

Finally got to it this evening. Busy day just back from amazing striped marlin fishing and a quick boat trip to shore.

Stay well all
