0. I have a dream that I’ve been hired to take over The Daily Show from Jon Stewart. It’s a fun job.

1. We’ve decided to take a “little and often” approach to clearing out the garage: a boot load goes to the charity shop and the tip, with a wheelie bin filled with recycling too. Soon there will be enough space for a potters wheel and a little kiln – woohoo!

1b. Starting to make plans – what consumables I should buy and how I should manage the processes. I find ways to make it easier (at least to start with) and resources to help me work out what to do next.

2. I’m always surprised by the brownie. It’s soooooo good.

3. Dinner is patchy – it’s good food but there is a mix up with my order, the pub is noisy and technical problems cause an unrelated but simultaneous annoyance — but afterwards, we walk around Nunroyd Park and Lily’s tail wags and wags.
