On the bus to town again.....but luckily I remembered before it arrived, that it wouldn't be a good idea to go out to the gallery....as it is closed on Tuesdays!!
I had a few things to do anyway..checking with the bank about my savings....paying in cash to another savings account...I do that with most of the small change I get.... painless saving!!
My favourite young bank manager was working on the counter which was fortunate...nice to say Hi ....and a quick chat..he is from Oz....he has booked his next trip back...and understands why I'm saving for mine to NZ!!
A quick whizz round Lidl...a summer dress and light nightwear...Ideal for the French trip!!
The tollbooth has been restored...pity about the cinema.
The 1975 police building out of picture to my right is being demolished now...it has been shut up for a few years, and the police station is now in a beautiful Victorian brick building....fair comment on modern buildings.
Back home and this afternoon has been filled with fruit processing.
Gooseberry jam made, gooseberry pulp in the jeely bag, dripping juice nicely for jelly.
A couple of small carry out plastic boxes of gooseberries and one of currants in the freezer...and some small strawberries open freezing. Finally apricots were on special in Lidl.....one punnet halved, stoned and open freezing as well!!
And good news....I've been offered kiln space until my kiln is ready...must get making!!!
Good news about the kiln space!
ReplyDeleteAnother productive day . With blue sky!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have kiln space, and well done with all the fruit making winter treats. I have at least found my dehydrator and the two books that go with it. Out at patchwork today though, so will tackle if probably on Friday.
ReplyDeleteBus travel seems to be working pretty well.
ReplyDeleteThe festival must have inspired you and to have some new kiln space is great.
Happy news about the kiln. Looks like you are having sun!
ReplyDeleteGood timing on kiln space. What cone level to fire to? Can't wait to see new pots from your fingers!
ReplyDeleteCone 9-10 (seger) isn't it odd that Orton comes are slightly different temperatures to numbers?!
DeleteGlad you've got some kiln space! That cinema is great. I hope they do something with it someday.
