Today has been rather wet....and cold....and windy.
I'm glad that I lifted a short row of red tatties yesterday.."Rooster".. not prolific but nice.
Hot water bottle and early night cold!! Better than putting the heat on....in August !!!!
The good news is that the shorter and even shorter kiln props have turned up..but the pyro hasn't!!
Tomorrow's job is list the pyrometric cones which measure temperature and heatwork in a kiln. Small triangular section jobs which start melting at a given temperature...but if you give a kiln a "soak" i.e. hold it at a certain temperature the heatwork will make the cone bend further and glazes melt and mature more .

Gosh, that sounds really technical. I hope you get some interesting glazes.
It has been cold at night here - even when hot in the day. I am back to having my duvet on now.
Cold weather in August is surprising to me. We are at 87 degrees F with high humidity today. I'd rather be cold and wear layers.
Finding the kiln props is great. Your kiln progress continues at a good pace.
