I'll start with the last picture I took of the sky last night.

Sandy collected me on her way to the studio this morning. I spent getting on for three hours cleaning and filling the paint pots, and washed out the large empty ones. Although they are empty they need a good clean as the paint is caked to the inside of the container. There were a couple of students in, painting presents. they were on holiday and had been in last year. One of them wanted help with art work, and as Donna isn't in on a Tuesday I ended up copying an army cadet badge onto a plate for her to paint! The coil bowl and hedgehog I made last week is dry now and not cracked at the moment. When the other clay items are dry enough they will be biscuit fired and then I will be able to paint them.

I walked into town from the studio, passed this beautiful bush by one of the car parks.

I want a smaller case that has all direction wheels for my shorter trips away. I checked out a few and I think I have made up my mind which one I will buy. Caught the bus home and after quite a bit of walking around town I felt quite tired so haven't done a great deal this afternoon. 
I will be watching Holby this evening which I enjoy. I may watch another episode of River as well. Loved the cloud formation in this picture this evening.

Then it became dramatic!!
