h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Pleased to hear your PC is OK ! I'd love to work with oils So,but,I really don't have the time to wait for it to dry (also,I'm not the most patient of people ,even on a good day ) Acrylics suit me at the moment !!! I'd love to try modelling with clay.I did do it at college,many moons ago,well,not that many moons ago ,come to think of it,yes ,it was quite a few moons ago hahahhahahha I enjoyed it.Do you get the chance to do much modelling ,sculpturing etc ?

All our work is handbuilt - anything that take our fancy. I also help with a group of artists on a monday, that is a real buzz. they are called '15 Days in Clay'.

That sounds really good..I wish we had something like that up here ! I'd love to join a class like that ! When you say 'OUR',do you mean the class on a Monday ?

Yes, though there is some throwing done on Tues evenings with adult Ed.
The monday group is a small group of artists with learning difficulties and it is led by a profesional ceramic artist. We have a terrific exhibition on at the moment. I am a volunteer and learning all the time - really fantastic.

It all sounds very fascinating !! The artistic ability of people with learning difficulties is astounding.I visited an exhibition a couple of years ago,all of the art work,with all mediums, had been done by students with learning difficulties,it was truly amazing.What a wonderful job you have So !

I am very fortunate - mind you our professional ceramic artist is an amazing teacher. she works in such a way that opens up peoples talents.

This is half of the battle I think..having the right teacher who inspires ! Sadly,not a lot of those around !

ICAWYM!!!!!!

Pronounced Icawhim. 'I couldn't agree with you more.' Stock phrase of my mother when in out of depth conversation. Abreviated by self as code for siblings - much hilarity.

Most of greenhouse moved, no glass broken beyond the ones already gone. It will be while before it is up - got ground work and space to find.

Long day on the plot.

Some B****** has earthed up our resident Fox's den - hope he wasn't in, but not been seen for a few days.

Buzzard is still about putting the wind up the Woodies, woodpigeons.

Half the spuds now in, just few. Rest of time under orders - can you just do this etc. etc.

Go and get a meal on the go now.

Off to the Medips, may water later.

Well I hope the buzzard eats whoever it is thats unearthed the foxes earth So !!!People !!!! Who'd have em ? I buy my urban foxes cooked chicken twice a week !!! I love foxes !!! Your Mother sounds cool too hahahhahahha My sort of lady,speaking in code that only the selected 'few' can understand hahahhahahhaha Catch you later x

Finished moving greenhouse and took a load to tip.

Step daughter crisis with fish tank - new tank syndrome- too much Nitrite.

Water change and special culture for the filter - saved the day.

Thank heavens for that !!! Water change I mean !! How big is the greenhouse ?

Not huge about 8'x6' - haven't measured it. It will have to wait until the shed is repaired and erected.
