    Sounds really lovely
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    So glad you had a lovely day! Does this mean you're going to be making your own range of ducks?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Yes. Got 8 cows to glaze today and then I can do a glaze firing to really test it out. However did a lower temperature firing on Tuesday and the element has oxidized (as it should) so I know that it was working so there should be no reason why everything should not go back to normal. The brand new kiln is due to arrive around the 7th December so will have to rearrange things (again) to be able to get two big kilns next to each other (and arrange for the electrician). I am very aware that the old boy is starting to corrode and crumble to I am not sure how much longer it will cope with the high amount of usage and the new one will allow me to semi retire it to doing just the lower temperature "bisque" firings.

    I love that you're having to expand with more kilns!

    Had a better day today, feeling a lot more stable as I have been trying hard to take it steady over the last week.
    I have started on the higher dose of Venlefaxine today so I am hoping that it will keep me on the straight and narrow.

    The community art group had the run of the studio this morning, I did not have to be with them as my friend supervised the group. I managed to get down the town and pay in the money and do a little shopping without having any anxiety issues!

    Well another good day. Had a class this afternoon which seemed to go well and I even did a painting myself! After the class I rested (yes really!!) and read for a while then a friend came over for dinner whilst another friend ran the evening class.
