an odd week, and a picture for Gary!

Thought you'd like this, Mr Rith !!! We saw it in the Tattoo shop run by a friend of The Carpenter.

This has been an odd week, starting so well on the Bank Holiday, and I'm full of ideas...and inertia.
Good news though, eyes tested on Wednesday, and my long sighted side is static and the shortsighted side has only deteriorated just enough to need new glasses and less than expected. Which means I'll have new ones for clean and the present ones for the workshop!!

I turned the last platter of the batch, but it took me an hour to start the design...


Then there were over a dozen small boxes to finish. One has a dragon...I still prefer these on pots rather than without.
I tried a change of scene this morning, weeded the second half of the brassicas, hoed and fed them too. The runner beans are coming on better now, with today's sun and hopefully rain tomorrow there could be a lot more ready to pick.
Luckily I noticed a pigeon flying away from the bottom end of the allotment, which means one thing at this time of year....
The Elderberries are ready!
This is the end of the latest batch of work, I think I have enough small pots to fit around the bigger bowls and plates to fill a bisque kiln.
Tidy workshop , unpack the last bisque, pack the kiln and start glaze mixing next!

I'm itching to go walking again, I'm feeling stretched thin . I haven't got into the Xmas Showcases in Aberystwyth, so I need to walk and think and plan again!
