A tad knackered.
Just a bit. We returned the GDD to her parents yesterday and I am at the interesting stage of falling asleep when I sit down. The night before she went home the GDD did not sleep because she didn’t want … Continue reading
Pouring over my work.
Seasoned readers (hello) know exactly what that title means. I am indeed pouring porcelain. It’s one of those activities that you forget the difficulties of, when you haven’t done it for a while. Once upon a time, thirty years ago, … Continue reading
