Beaver:

Chuckles re comments about my rocking floor! A rocking bridge, I would not like! Not at all! The kiln is in the wood shed for now. BJ assures me he will come when he has time. This leads to my chuckles re plumbing problems; lived almost 15 years without running water, got so used to it that 20 years later I still conserve water in every possible ways. However, if a storm is coming or if the water needs to be turned off- FILL the bathtub!

R has Covid but better today than yesterday. Yes, all four shots! Glad he is there and I am here!

Trekked down to Madoc (an hour) today for dentist. The clinic was odour free but had to ask the receptionist to please turn off the dreadful noise of TV - no one there but me. I waited over an hour and the noise put my brain into bad state. It took the receptionist "translating" for me to understand the dentist who was nice but had no comprehension of my difficulty. Two more appointments on Monday.

Then ---Brainstorm! Stopped to see potter friend and asked if he could spare a box of the clay we both use. YAY! He could. I am out of the fresh clay and pre-used is a nuisance, time consuming and hard on shoulders. This box will get me through the larger stuff that Needs to be made. Then I can use the "re-cycled" for lots of small pieces which sell very well at the Carriage House (CH).

Then I got gas and a Subway to eat on the way north, to the CH where I exchanged two boxes of new product for about the same amount of stuff that has not been so popular. A bit of social and then back down the hill and a stop to see a friend briefly - busy making a cage for the strawberries - so they will get some!

Home and a cup of tea and some food. Chick peas cooking. A few minutes in studio. Another beautiful day in the swamp!
