Rainy day

 St Swithin's day... apparently it is now supposed to rain for forty days and nights..it certainly started with a vengeance in Glasgow with five days worth of rain ina couple of hours.....

I ventured out in what looked, according to the radar maps, the most likely time to stay dry...a quick two bus journey, no wait on the way out and ten minutes wait on the return...and a mile away from home a cloudburst started!!.. luckily at my bus stop it has just subsided to light rain...just 200 m to walk!! But even in that short time the puddles were starting around the house 




Today's job has been just finishing yesterday's three bowls and small platter..

Despite it being cooler and wet much of yesterday they had dried well..a little too well!!..but a quick spritz and wrap saved the day.




I discovered some new biscuits in the shop...not sure where they are from...




I am making a biscuit mould!! I've done similar before...it had to be fired with the biscuit!!  Then you take the mould to make another impression...and THAT becomes your pattern stamp!
