Friday

Morning, everyone.  Welcome to Friday!  It's dry but dull out there at the moment which is OK but I hope it brightens up a bit.

I had plans for yesterday but didn't actually get going quickly so most of the plans came to nothing.  I didn't swim (but I did wash), nor did I go to the garden centre, so that's on the plan for today instead.
Tuition was fun and pottery was lovely.

The glaze had arrived so I got the three coasters glazed and made the fourth.  That's now drying out for smoothing off and firing next week.  That took most of the time so I tidied up, got out my printoffs and some paper and drew out the leaf shapes I will use for the bowl I want to make.  I have kept the shape fairly simple and I do think it will work OK.  No photos - I forgot my camera and am probably the only person in town not to have an iphone!

So, on to today.
Matt and the tiler are due to arrive at eight and I will bomb off to the gym.  MUST have a swim today!  After that I will drive on to the garden centre before coming home.
The cleaners come later on so I will need to clear what can be cleared so they can do the best they can with whatever space they have.  They do know!
Then it's a nice quiet evening of telly and knitting!

Lovely.  xx

    1. No, you're definitely not the only one, Diane. I do it often and, in my case, it is often due to sheer idleness. And very nice too!

  2. It’s dull and wet here! Also cold enough to want some heat but it’ll affect the gloss painting if it’s too warm so I’m making do with a comfort blanket!

    I think the tiling is the most exciting stage- when you get a real feel for how the room is going to look, so not long now until you get your bathroom back.

    1. It's still dull but we haven't had rain (yet). I agree - I'm excited to see how the tiles look, not that they are anything special; just very neutral and moddles. Matt finish, not gloss. I hope it warms up for you a bit.

    1. I've been catching up on old episodes of QI, Have I Got News for You and Would I Lie to You, all of which make me laugh almosty hysterically at times. I love them.
      How lovely to hear from you again - how are things your end?
