some progress..possibly

 Today I went on the bus to Ayr to meet somone else who is on the waiting list for the U3a French group...coffee and biscuits and learning each other's history..and saying hello to their dog!

There are apparently 18 in the established group...only three of us willing to start a new group.  One suggestion is to ask any of the first group if they would like to join us....two smaller groups can grow, and I'm sure that the waiting list is putting people off.

I think he'll be joining the Friday group in the library where I already go!!

Then lunch in town, better than eating late, and  to back home for a rest...and turning and cutting the bigger bowl and platter.

The bowl went ok I think, but the platter may have to go in the recycling bucket and be used again. I haven't got the thicknesses right on it so it. would be a waste to fire it.

Good practice to improve my making anyway.
