Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hope you are safe? Now I have to add dry too. Hope you are safe and dry. This is certainly a challenge isn’t it?! Just when you accept the situation, the goal posts get moved again. Very, very uncertain and worrying times for sure. And I do believe the layers and layers of issues, too many to even contemplate in one little blog ere, are just too much to digest for the average human….
Happy Boxing Day! Thanks for popping in. Made the fatal mistake of waking up to the Radio 4 News at 7am. Don’t know which was worse: setting the alarm to go off at stupid o’clock when a lie in would have worked too, or tuning in to the catastrophic state of global affairs before I’d even had a cuppa or brushed my teeth! Either way, my path to happy destiny was way off kilter by the time I got downstairs….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Happy Christmas! Been doing pottery most of today. It’s quite romantic really. You see, at one end of the garage I have my pottery studio, and at the other end Dave has his woodturning lathe. And so we spent the day together, he making sawdust, and I glazing pots. Certainly different to Christmasses past. Quieter for sure! That’s okay too. Usually I’m chasing my tail, in full throttle. We’ve always got a full house;…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. You may have seen the Youtube with the Nordic Lady who builds a Christmas Tree out of her hair? Very, very funny. Anyway, I showed Grace – she who has really massive hair – and she decided to have a go. Ready? Hang on! Tinsel!!! This is what we do. Spend time together on Facetime. It’s the next best thing to being together. Yesterday evening we chatted away for an hour while I made…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been playing in the Pottalot Studio pretty much all day. It’s been a learning day. Figuring things out, so I can decorate the virgin batch which came out of the kin last weekend! First thing I did was mix up hugs batches of glaze in big buckets. Just whites and clears. They have to sit for a day now, so tomorrow I can crack on with glazing. I did paint some Botz ready mixed…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Good to have your company again. Just came out of the Live SHAC Shac, and am heading over to my parents with their Christmas Shopping. Bit early I know, but yesterday evening was the closest delivery slot to Christmas I could get. Blimey! We will have eaten it all by the 24th!!! I made a good start on it yesterday evening anyway; had to make room in the freezer!! Milk’s good for you, right?…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Nearly there. That sounds much more encouraging than not there yet, don’t you agree? You can look at everything from two different angles, can’t you. I try hard to look at things in a positive light. It doesn’t come naturally, especially when I’m tired. Hochanda TV prep for example. Nearly there. A few hours tomorrow, and then I’ll be good to go. Flipside: Didn’t manage to finish prep today, so will have to work…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s time to make those Christmas cards, isn’t it? The post office will be caving this season, what with all the online shopping we are resorting to in an attempt to stay safe. So the sooner we get them in the post – the better! I imagine most of you good people will have already made a good start, and many of you will alrady have finished yours! Ask me how I’m getting on….
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Big Day today. The Tinker’s Pottery Studio is ready to use. Wheel’s in, kiln’s in, electric’s in, water’s in – and we have lift off!!!!!!! So excited. Dave is a star. Tomorrow he’ll put a few more shelves in – a pottery needs lotsnlotsa shelves, and a workbench island. And then we are set! I’ve already got those little pots drying out a little, so I shall go downstairs in a bit and finish…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. A different kind of session in the SHACK SHAC today, but I think our Shack friends enjoyed it. I certainly did! I so seldom get time to complete a project live – we are always galloping on to the next new thing, when really we should be figuring out how to finish the project in front of us! So cool to actually stay on the bus until the end of the track for once!…
