Dark Sunday

Darkness Covers The Fens

   With that day of spooks and ghosts fast approaching, the fens seem a very dark place today, never once as real daylight welcomed us with a mixture of dark skies and light rain making this Sunday one of staying indoors resting in the warm. But I think you know me well enough to know I had to be out and about for a few hours before I started work. That magical dark sky called and who was I  not to obey, every dark cloud seemed to rush over heading towards the coast like wild horses rushing through those fog filled streets of Victorian London.
   I headed to the local car boot to hunt for lost treasure but none was found and I returned to my awaiting torch and a welcome cuppa along with orders to pack for posting and yet more beads to clean. My plans for the ceramic room have been put back until tomorrow, yesterday I spent a good bit of time working on pendants and throwing some small disc pendants on my wheel so they need to leather dry and tomorrow will be a perfect time to play with them. I should really have bisque fired by now but I'm trying to get the kiln full which will save me a further bisque firing.
   I hope the weather will pick up a bit this coming week so we can get more trees cut down and this big kid can then have a bonfire on the 5th, ok I'll be out there alone but I'm sure the memories of bonfire nights past will come flooding back and sod it I might even get a few small fireworks to play with haha, I can hear the neighbours now "You seen him next door out there letting off fireworks at his age", I love giving them something to talk about !
   Well I better get the stir fry cooked and then an evening writing and drawing ceramic design in my note book, what more could there be to a Sunday evening, apart from the bath in the tin bath that is haha !
