busy day

I've been drilling holes in berry bowls today-I think my drill bits need sharpening by now! I use several different sizes, in making patterns of holes, and just use the bits, not the drills.
I could just use a teapot piercer, but I like the consistency of size.
Also turning a few plates and some small decorative bowls.

As I was on the way to the allotment I was stopped and asked if I was ok....they are so used to seeing me in the garden every day, people worry. That's nice.

At the moment there are so many things to do with good drying weather!...Dry pots, dry clothes, go gardening....or even go for a walk!!

More berry and decorative bowls tomorrow, a bit bigger this time. The 1.5 kg bowls have been wrapped to prevent further drying. Sometimes this seems to make the turning easier, if they have sat wrapped for a little while- but not too long!

It's amazing how such a small act can make such a huge difference to your life. Well, it does to mine anyway.
