There are two types of people in the world... #Hobby #Pottery #Figurine #Sadness ? #Clanger ??

Two amateur pottery figures, one a possibly sad contemplative human female, the other a Clanger (tm) popping out of a crater (tm)...

Google maps has a really good grasp of how to get from my drive to my house... Apart from it doesn't know the car *is* on the drive, so there's no need to actually walk to the road before spending 1min driving 6' to get "home"

Google maps route showing hobi could walk to the road, dive 6', get out, then walk back down the drive when I want to go in the house....
