City: Nice trip back on drippy day. Went to mill and was loading the kiln when Vanessa came and watched and chatted. When finished we had tea in the sunroom and Geri came along. V & G left, I started kiln and met G for light, late lunch at resto, then back to city. Off loaded car and watched big bang and now CSI - whatever that is. May quit and read book

Put R's exceptionally filthy clothes through very hot wash and a rinse with tea tree oil, hoping to kill possible pathogens. Now another cycle from start with HOT water. He was cleaning out a shed in which raccoons had been living; we know what could be in their excrement and - taking no chance.   

I see a new-to-us pottery casserole on stove - exceptionally lovely and hand made, obviously from a thrift shop. Well, I did break the lid to my fav one a few months ago so maybe this is a new fav.

De-cluttering is tough! I dropped off a bag of stuff at a thrift shop this week but things add on faster. I shall persevere.
