Wow! What a spectacular storm last night, or early this morning, even. Was waiting for Corey to come up to get into our bed, but thankfully it didn't wake him. I love it after a good thunderstorm, everything looks so green and fresh again. I was so glad of the rain yesterday afternoon. I went for a wander round the garden in it. Got drenched but it was lovely and invigorating. Luckily all my neighbours think I'm barmy anyway, so it's not an oddity to see me doing daft things in the garden with a silly grin on my face.....the black cable incident for instance......;)

Just about to do some mathematics and work out a test firing program for my kiln. Probably means going in tonight to start it, so it will ramp gradually during the night, and HOPEFULLY be coming down in the morning so if anything DOES go wrong again, there'll be a factory full of people who can alert me. Fingers crossed!!!! Seems a waste to fire it empty but I'm still waiting on a new kiln shelf since my original one still has the remains of my last firing welded to it. It got so hot, the plaster mould melted too!!

Other than that, a nice lazy day I think. Or some retail therapy perhaps....?
