    Thanks Paula. I also need to prepare 10 kilos of clay for two private classes tomorrow. I am close to tears with exhaustion now, no idea how I will get through today. Thankfully Max is going to come with me to the ex potter so i feel less anxious about that.
    Once I have done the shopping I will have an early lunch at my favourite quiet Costa and create a mood tracker in my bullet journal. I am going to draw a wood and number each tree from 1 to 31 then assign a colour to each of my moods, then each day through October i will colour in a tree with the colour of that days mood. At the end of the month all the trees will be coloured in and I will have an illustration of my moods. I used to use moodscope a lot for this but I think a pictorial indication will work better for me.

    Went to see the ex potter. Wow what a collection! She must have about £10,000 of stuff there. Over 200 molds, worth between £20 and £100 and boxes of glazes. Max and I spent over £400 and only scratched the surface. It was a real pick me up. When I came home I was buzzing. H said she had not seen me so happy for days. H and I will be going back there on Wednesday afternoon to start sorting through it all. I am hoping that H will stop me spending a fortune.

    Sounds amazing!
    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.

    My EID has really been triggered today. One of my students made a big puffin at home. I fired it at the weekend and it exploded as she had not taken care to hollow it out properly and put in a vent for air to escape. It damaged 3 other pieces of work. In one case the lady had been working on her salt pig for three weeks. However the lady who made the puffin is not accepting that she did anything wrong. I am getting quite upset by it all.

    How badly damaged are the other items? Do you regularly fire things for her if she makes them at home?

    Very badly, scrap in fact. Yes we do. If people buy clay from me I include a firing charge to cover the costs.
