City:
Gorgeous weather, cool, breezy, low humidity. Supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow.

Found a wonderful old wooden clothes drying rack at a thrift shop yesterday. I went in needing a plastic basin for the 5th tree but none this time. Now I can dry small loads of laundry in the back yard instead of the dryer.

This interesting article points out part of what I find helpful about this thread; it helps me keep track.

Went to the mill yesterday. Left early enough to get a loaf of that good nut bread on the way; there were two! but I left the second for someone else. Then the thrift shop, then the mill. I managed to trim the pots I made on Sunday and threw 3 lids but then went off to find Geri and show her my wonderful box - and the group of people having lunch at the restaurant. I had a bowl of soup, then went back to the mill to throw more lids. But I was still hungry so I had humous and corn chips - and 6 squares of choc; the first in a couple weeks. Then I was so sleepy I just sat and read and then computered for a couple hours. Meanwhile trying to figure out what had caused this sudden sleepiness as I have not had it for a while.

It was too late to do anything in the studio so I pulled weeds, picked peas, loaded car to go back to city and went to cafe. The noise was so loud it made my whole body hurt and I had to leave before I - literally - screamed. I sat in the car and recovered, phoned R to tell him I was coming back. We had agreed he would work all weekend to get stuff done before we leave for Ontario on Weds.

The cafe now serves beer and wine. This seems to make people noisier. We may not go back. Sad loss of our community of friends but I cannot cope with the noise.

There is at least a kiln load of pottery ready to fire - when dry - so I will go back on Sunday, after Quaker meeting, to do a bisque firing. Today: I will get off here shortly and go to pot! More lids and jars; if I make enough of each, eventually I will have some that fit each other. Measuring has not helped! I am sure other potters do not have this problem; I did not used to... I did catch myself reading the numbers wrong yesterday. A ruler with very large raised numbers????   

Oops - need to get some groceries first. Hoping the store will be less busy at lunch time.
