Ashore! We made it with a minimum of bumps in the road. Nice one!

Ashore- Guinness the drink of choice this evening! Stay warm all!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

You can, but you’ll be living in an old shipping crate under a highway overpass 🤣

Ashore! Wow, a bunch of people already here!

Very confident in this week's answer --- but we think our answer for last week (absent) was every bit as good as the 'official' answer! C'est la vie!

ashore4us! Smithwick's Red Ale please! Cellar temperature, not too cold.

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Ashore (and bracing for what may be this week's second snowstorm).

Gently wafted ashore this week. No eye rolls or yawns, though, as both wife and son are not here. Maybe later.
