YAY!!! going above freezing Monday - to Thurs at least. And not getting really cold tonight. This is imp because I have to turn off the heat in the studio to run the kiln. Today when I got there it was only a few degrees above freezing. I turned the heat on and waited for the studio to warm some before getting to work - had lunch, watered plants - pansies and geranium blooming!

Mixed a new batch of green glaze - took almost 3 hours of hard labour. Then I unloaded bisque kiln, waxed bottoms, stirred that darn midnight blue glaze as I have not yet found - not true! I think I can make a dif one but did not have the energy to do another glaze so I used the difficult one. I stirred and stirred and it seemed to go better today; I stirred and glazed and stirred and glazed - a whole batch of stuff.... - an hour later it had settled again and I said #$%^& but stirred it again because there was room in the kiln and I wanted to try some blue/burgundy pots. I had done a small sample and it was interesting... Then I did a couple with the fresh glaze. Finished loading just before 6.

Left the studio, cold, tired, hungry and aching. But the kiln is firing. Had soup and some home fries and choc cake and cheese. Too hungry to wait for cooked veg. Tomorrow I have to drive back out to open kiln and turn heat back on! Now, It is computer and TV - maybe a hot bath.

The little trailer/mobile pottery workshop is a go. We may be able to pick it up on the weekend and take it to the mill until time to take it to Ontario. It will be useful for taking a load of stuff. I am starting to triage what needs to go first.
