today was one of those days that made me long for a lottery win so that I could escape some dreary nonsense. I’ve been to too many meetings in the past week, it has sucked the life out of me like a dementor. I’m trying to enjoy january for christ sake.

when I do win the lottery, I’m going to buy a wee bit of land near the house and build the most excellent studio - where no meetings will take place and minutes will be burned in my kiln if they make it through the door. there will be no strategies, no jargon, no corporate speak - only lots of space, a good stereo, a place for ella, lots of wood and tools. and a couch. and a wood burner. I can’t wait.
