Positives

 Jobs done today....painted 4½ fence panels of 6 before rain stopped play.

Acquired a balance for weighing small amounts of glaze materials....£40!! It had only arrived at the second hand emporium yesterday!! Plus he gave me a can with some brake cleaner in it to clean the kiln's burners

And thirdly, I've just started a batch of yoghurt to "do" overnight.

Plenty of other things crying out to be done...but these are a good start!
