planning

 Out on the bus today...saving fuel...and after two buses the first stop was the travel agents....

Tickets for the biennial trip to Aotearoa NZ sorted...and this time going from Edinburgh instead of Glasgow to avoid a 9 hour stopover in the wee small hours!Return to Glasgow as usual. 

I see no point in going from anywhere outside Scotland, as then I'd have extra fares to pay!! Here the buses are free for 60+.....

Argos...very nice lad checked the website...agreed that getting a repair via that , wasn't possible. He gave me the customer support  of the manufacturer....Yes, I know, and so did he, that the onus is on the shop.... .

But...we'll see.   If that doesn't work I can try a consumer help site...maybe Martyn Lewis' money saving expert?

A text arrived as I was on the next bus, a short ride into Ayr...the computer shop...

Off one stop early to walk to see them.

They needed to contact my brother...so they could check if the remote access app was working between him and my computer....

A couple of shops to look at then home on the next bus....

After a cuppa , down to glaze preparation...stirring out where they had settled since last time...

I need to check for a clear glaze as well..I can't recall seeing a tub ready made up, so I'll look through the recipe book for that.

The wind was roaring around the studio, no rain yet...and whistling around the back door in the house. Yet it doesn't feel that cold.

I'm supposed to be at the gallery tomorrow but I'll need to keep an eye on the weather forecast. If the wind gust level is going yo be over a certain speed for a few hours the Castle and grounds are closed. There are a lot of tall trees...and thanks to  storms over recent years there are fewer than there were.

Overall a useful day with things falling into place without any big fuss!
