So started feeling sick Saturday afternoon. Spent yesterday in bed. Woke up still sick. Since rest didn’t work, reverting to my usual “pretend everything is fine” and pounding cold meds.

Watching the Battle skins game from last night. Distracted by the paint job on the rings. Must have been a really rushed install.

After two months of no pottery because of moving and travel, I got back in the studio this week. The first night was 3 hours of prep and glazing. Tonight was mostly glazing too but I did colour some clay to do nerikomi next week! Hope the flowerpot cups are visited by the magnificent kiln gods 🤞
Two bisque fired and glazed beer tumblers sit slightly offset on a shelf, awaiting a trip to the kiln. The clay is a red brown colour, and features a carved scene of the flowerpot rocks in the bay I Fundy, surrounded by glazes that will hopefully transform in the kilnThree rows of three small vessels sit on a shelf, covered in powdery looking glaze, as they await the kiln. They include two small bowls, a series of tumblers, and a tiny vase with a flared rim

Hired a designer for a consultation on our new house because I am tired of living in cobbled together spaces, but afraid I can’t afford anything intentional. So hopefully we will at least get some good ideas.

Fall fair weekend, recruiting for the club. Shout out to Capital Winter Club for lending us their street curling unit. It is a kid magnet.
Two teenagers kneel down at the near end of an inflatable curling rink, facing away and about to push their rocks down the sheet.

Spotted on Reddit 👀
“Someone has left this note - and this lighter! - at the Halifax grave of Maj.-Gen. Robert Ross, the British military man who burned down the White House.”

There’s a photo of a note lying at the foot of a gravestone with a blue bic lighter beside it.   The note reads “GENERAL ROSS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 
YOU ARE NEEDED AGAIN

Today is closing day for the new house. Here is @scibri.com discovering the extent of fancyness in the BBQ that was left at the house.
A man in a hoodie, ball cap, and sock feet stands on a deck next to a large BBQ unit with a flattop grill and top grill on the side. The Harley Davidson logo is blazoned on the front of the cart
