Three phase power, red sticks and teenage boys..

I have written about my poor lonely electric kiln before.  If you click back and read the whole sorry post I wont have to repeat myself will I ? hint hint.

Right I am assuming that you have clicked back and read this post and now your heads are full of  sympathetic thoughts for me. Well they dont need to be. The stinky pit of doom has been built at the other end of the house and  we will have three phase power up here by June next year…

Look! Look! Look!  See that red stick next to my power pole, (you can click the picture to make it larger). That little red stick has made me unbelievably happy. It is a little red marker advertising the fact that my ordinary everyday power poles will soon be transformed into power poles of total bliss.

Yesterday the spouse and I went to town and left our darling son at home. I had done the dishes before I went out. How on earth did one teenager make this amount of mess in six hours???

    Ooh good news. As for the mess, he’s a teenager, wasn’t he just warming up with that?! BG x

    I am constantly reminding our teenager – that yes, I am happy he cooks for himself and therefore, demonstrates some independence and ability to do for himself – but would it be too much to ask that he clean up after himself? That big ass mixing bowl and the friggin’ colander take up all the space in the sink!!!

    Glad the stinky pit of doom didn’t end up on that gorgeous balcony!

    What have you been using to fire your pots if not the kiln?

    And lastly.. did you make that bowl with the large ladle in it? I LOVE that kind of pottery and would give my left pinky toe for a whole set of those bowls.

    If the dishes make it to the sink, consider yourself lucky.

    I thought I’d read all your archives. I’m going to have to go back and start over, because I don’t remember the honeysuckle balcony at all. I love honeysuckle, I have a giant one growing in a pot. The leaves and flowers are huge.
