growing up

The Carpenter is growing up.
Good.

Unfortunately this now means leaving me "out of the loop" and I get accused of interfering and nagging when I try and find out information I need about something that affects me too.

Ho, Hum. Life and All That!

weather

The hottest day of the year so far.

The allotment is growing well and cropping nicely.

The garden is still growing spare car parts...but fewer than before, lol!

recession

The Carpenter has been made redundant-despite being able to work with wood and signwrite.

If anyone will find work it is likely to be him.

I'm off to make more pots, then to garden.

One to make money the other to spend less and get something better.

weather

It is still dry here. I am hoping for the right sort of rain!
Pontypool had the wrong sort of rain yesterday-only 9 miles away by road (about 6 by crow :D)
Flash flooding, thunder and lightning and power cuts.

We need nice gentle wetting rain-at night, of course!!

Gardening

Full greenhouse- it is too small already!!

pots

At last!!

A funny day

A 'funny peculiar' day. Bits of this and that got done, a day when you are busy and feel you have achieved nothing-until you list what you have actually done!!

At least I started throwing pots again, this time in porcelain.

I am thinking how to organize my time to get enough done in the next month before the salt kiln firing.
Possibly work in the early mornings-that way I should get few interruptions and I will be busy with pots when Mountain Man is busy with his stock, and we wont lose any of our time together!

Perfect!!
