Patrick, you are indeed special ...we won't tell you which definition.

For those who are interested the "Sealchies Hide" & the picnic tables therein are always available once everyone goes to bed. No place for hammocks but shelter from the rain (if there is any).

Hello and welcome.

Welcome lady.

Anyone who wants to do a demo in or around the Hide please feel free. Just let me know so that things can be coordinated between all who are interested.

I encourage anyone who wants to use the fire at the Hide for a cooking demonstration to please feel free to do so. Last year Lady Constance made breads over the fire and it was a wonderful treat.

We can also have someone "sell" their wares, hawkers with baskets and fake coin and perhaps giving the school children a taste.

How did I miss the post TWO days ago from William. I am saddened to hear that you will not be attending. I was looking forward to seeing you again and meeting your lovely lady. I miss you already.

Aye. I think it is a grand idea but I must pass at this time. Perhaps, like so many other things, in the future.

We be but 'umble pyrates, Miss...

Readin' and writin', well those be things for those above us...

Goode Quartermaster James I would think that one of your station must requires that you read and write, how else keep you the books?

To those of you who have uneducated characters I would suggest that you could "hire" someone to write for you or perhaps a friend or mate could write for you. This would make it so that you could participate and remain illiterate. Murin "Silkie" McDonough writes to her cousin Fionn who sails on the crew of the Archangel. Since Fionn can neither read or write they must rely on better educated crew mates to facilitate their communication.

I failed to post this here ...one heck of a BloodyMary!

BACON!

Thanks Meg!

Wow, a photo of me that I actually like. THANKS MEG!

...and observers can't figure out why we make sure there are yards and yards and YARDS before the cannons.

Good idea Mike ...have her doing the crowd control of traffic in front of the cannon.

I would like to "celebrate" with my dear pub friends! Not only have I accepted an invitation from Stinky to take on the role of moderator he has also named a sub-forum after me! That's kind of cool! Let's see if I can do the job of moderator.

I love the added detail of the lining & handle matching the theme! That little bit could go a LONG way.

Maybe the movement will make it operable or the like. We are all prying for the lad. Thank yo for keeping us posted.

mmm ....William, how wonderful. I could not have done better myself ...which may be because I don't cook.

William ...we had bacon for breakfast ...well, I bought bacon for breakfast on Saturday but by the time I got up there was none left. We also had the moment of silence. It is difficult to get pirates to do anything but ...well pirating. lol

We humans do leave a mark.

Prayers, love and hope to your nephew. It may be rare but I am sure that he CAN survive. He and all of his family are in my prayers.

~HUG~

Such fun! Do you have it in a larger size? LMAO!

Happy Birthday lass.

Breithlá shona duit!, go maire tú an lá!

Best o'the day t'ya Mr. O'Keeffe, a finer lad I have yet to meet!

...of course the bar isn't set very high considering this crowd.

Only a short drive away. Hmmm ...now ...what is the date?!

Happy Birthday Dorian! Many more!

Nicely stated Bright. Always did like you. Now ...to turn the house into a ship, the dog into a ships cat, move to the ocean ...hmmm ...excuse me, I have a some plans to make.

I find that wearing my great grandmothers tortus shell comb under my cap makes keeping the hat on easier. It gives it something extra to push against won the back of the head when the hat is tied around the back Now if you can have a comb AND a bun you should no issues (don't ask me how to accomplish that). The cap also gives you something to pin the hat to.

I too still have an issue keeping the hat on in the wind.
