Thank you so much from Laura and myself...Dear All,<br /><br />Thank you so much from Laura and myself for your kind comments which have been very much appreciated. The key was quite an challenge for Laura, as the person that it was for had interests that included playing the saxophone, fishing, shooting, computers... all sorts of things. This helps explain the saxophone playing fish with antlers! (I suppose in these days of genetically modified crops and animals, there may already be saxophone playing fish with antlers, but that is another story!!).<br /><br />Must dash now, PPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-48484145186419834402011-10-21T10:08:50.582+13:002011-10-21T10:08:50.582+13:00Your eye for beauty, and your creative ability to ...Your eye for beauty, and your creative ability to communicate and share it with others, is in itself a source of great delight. It helps us to see things differently too and enlarges our horizons.<br />re the 'down' times, maybe you should re-read Ecclesiasticus chapter 3 again!<br /> There's nothing like reading a well-written book aloud to others. Empathising with the characters feeds the creative juices too and adds its own relish. <br />P(e)ace yourself Peter... xx<br /><br />Laura's sax-playing fish is great! <br />More please!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749930643114712951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-49126024369485228852011-10-20T01:51:55.977+13:002011-10-20T01:51:55.977+13:00Don't be too hard on yourself about so-called ...Don't be too hard on yourself about so-called 'down time.' It can be a valuable tool for progressing and processing work.<br /><br />I find I read downloads for information. Pleasure reading is almost always in dead tree form. There's something about holding a book while reading it; it's all part of the romance of a story.<br /><br />Laura's key is terrific!

It's unfortunate that we have to force ourselves to push to do things for our incomes.<br /><br />I relate to your thoughts on sitting with a book - I found I wasn't reading as much and I agree we are all too used to quick bytes of information. It's rather alarming - when sitting with a book is such a pleasurable thing to do! I don't want to lose that skill either!<br /><br />Love all your bisqued-ware lined up -- and those big pots are gorgeous. Can't wait to see them glazed. Hopefully you'll generate enough money from the sale of those to compensate the kiln costs for firing.<br /><br />I love Laura's key. Her color choices are always so vibrant and happy.

I do it on the net..but started when I did some studying and helped my son find information when he was studying.Great thing to be able to do ...bad thing when you really need to read everything.<br />Glad you appear to be fit and well again ...take care xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-5486426152230127532011-10-18T01:42:44.484+13:002011-10-18T01:42:44.484+13:00Hi Peter,

I took yesterday my fourth Yoga course and it's really very good for the health to learn how to breathe and move and stay relax. It was my birthday too and we enjoyed to have some friends at home and to eat outdoor.<br />Your pots are great, you make me want to try now to do big pots, hum a big challenge !!!Armellehttp://blanc.bleu.over-blog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-36786162697086239612011-10-17T20:54:32.860+13:002011-10-17T20:54:32.860+13:00I know exactly those unproductive days.

I know what you mean about putting one pot in a kiln seeming excessive, but if the results are good then it's worth it and even if they aren't sometimes the knowledge gained makes it worth it.<br />The down time I have come to accept for some of the same reasons as you.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.com
