Different studio day

I went out early to post a letter and get a card and some chocolates for Rob at the studio as it was his birthday on Friday. Healwys make every welcome and supplies me with drinks and snacks while I paint. Then I set off to walk to Freeport, I went the main road way which is slightly longer but didn’t want to battle the mud on Polly’s Path again. The second pansy flower pot had been fired, I will leave it at the pottery and fetch it home after I have taken the workshop in May, that is providing someone signs up for it of course! I had outlined one of the pansies which did make it more eye catching. 

I painted a soup dish today which I hope will be fun when fired.

I had a few blobs of paint left so tried using a stencil on a coaster. Went a bit heavy handed on the paint! Then the writer tool was running quite thick! It will make me smile when I use it though.

Caroline arrived a bit before I needed to get home as I had made an appointment to see the prescribing pharmacist this afternoon to see what he thinks about my blood pressure. So Caroline had a drink with me and a bit of a natter then she drove me home before they had a party at the studio. Had a bit of lunch with Tina and then we went and had a coffee at the Floral Hall before she took me to the surgery. Just a bit of a rainbow over the sea.

My blood pressure was a bit up, quite a bit really, and he took it three times, but he was of the opinion that I didn’t need to have extra medication. He said I should take a list of my home reading in when I go the the hospital to show them that it spikes when I there!

Getting some bits ready for out couple of nights in Sheffield tomorrow, although we are not going until about 4 pm so no real rush.
