Long kitten has been stuck to me like superglue through my very rough night and morning.

I’ve at least made it through to the other side with seemingly decreased symptoms. I’m sure she’d like to take credit.

I don’t like tea but I’m totally trying it to help my chills and sore throat. At least I get to use one of my mugs for once ! 😆

You know you’ve been on the internet too long when you see this pic and all you can see is that meme with the salad cat. (Just screenshotting because I don’t want to muddy the reposts on something legitimately important with my dumb brain dump)

Threw another whole bag of clay today in another 6 pieces. I particularly enjoyed these two shapes in pics 2 and 3. And in pic 4 you can see how crowded my shelf is. 😆 #pottery

Reminds me slightly of my late, great, Lunafish, though she was floooofy. ♥️

Frantically trying to make wares for the saggar workshop next month so I threw a full bag of white stoneware tonight in 6 pieces. 2 were very meh but I liked these 4. Still not enough volume for the workshop though! #pottery

I suggested to my coworker that it may be best if she does *not* lay on my laptop and heat it up. She has reluctantly complied.

I’m just gonna mentally replace shoes with AI in this HHGttG passage.
Screen shot of a page from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reading: “"Many years ago this was a thriving, happy planet-people, cities, shops, a normal world. Except that on the high streets of these cities there were slightly more shoe shops than one might have thought necessary. And slowly, insidiously, the numbers of these shoe shops were increasing. It's a well-known economic phenomenon but tragic to see it in operation, for the more shoe shops there were, the more shoes they had to make and the worse and more unwearable they be-came. And the worse they were to wear, the more people had to buy to keep themselves shod, and the more the shops proliferated, until the whole economy of the place passed what I believe is termed the Shoe Event Hori-zon, and it became no longer economically possible to build anything other than shoe shops. Result-collapse, ruin and famine. Most of the population died out. Those few who had the right kind of genetic instability mutated into”

Lillow is quieter about it but just as convinced that the time is now.

Someone is very convinced that it is treat time. (It is not, in fact, treat time for another 30 mins)
