By George!

I think I've got it!

Two goes throwing on the wheel tonight.  Two perfectly centred pieces .... that's never happened before.   More importantly, having adjusted how I go about it, I could feel the difference as I worked which gave me confidence as I worked.   A little advice from a fellow potter helped me fashion the bowl from a cylinder that I had pulled.   Onwards and upwards from here :-)

In other news.   My much heralded break from work started with a ping on my phone this morning .... asking if I could help out tonight as they were unexpectedly short handed!   As I had committed to being at pottery this evening to help support those of the new intake who turned up, I could only work for a couple of hours.   The railway run Steam and Scream events around Halloween, a meal at Kings then a ride in the dark with assorted lineside horrors along the way.   It's a popular special event.   I had a two hour workout at the kitchen sink tonight, as good as a trip to the gym and I get paid for it!

After the rude awakening, I had a gentle day until work at 5pm.  A very slow start, a walk with C and the Megs, lovely Lancashire cheese on toast for lunch (thanks to blipper Lovetrees for sending the cheese) .... and a restorative snooze before work.
