In the Kiln?

There's a stoneware glaze firing in the kiln today.   I don't know if my clock house was found room this time or not.  I'll find out tomorrow.

It's been a roller coaster of a day.   Well after midnight the RAC let me know that they couldn't find anyone to come until the morning - as I expected.  However, calling late at night put me first on the list for a visit today and as I was having my breakfast the call came in.   Turns out the most local RAC man is a relative of a friend and near neighbour!   He came to pick me up which was very helpful give that the rain was lashing down.   The outcome - it seems you can flatten your battery with a 40 minute charge for your phone .... although leaving the keys turned in the ignition afterwards exacerbated the problem.   

I set off and did the recommended recharge miles, on the way back calling in at Wharf station to pick up the keys for Aber Cafe which I needed for tonight's work shift.  On arrival I met one of the chefs just leaving as he'd been taken ill which led me to offer to make up the numbers over lunchtime.  So forty minutes later I returned having given Meg a short walk and dropped her at Jamie's.  A busy couple of hours followed but just as I was about to head home I was diverted to take over at Abergynolwyn where a problem had arisen.   A couple of busy hours there followed by a dash home, picking up both dogs from Jamie's as he was soon off to a gig in town.  Dogs fed and watered then back to Aber cafe where the annual Good Friday 'Stations at Stations' train had just arrived as I did.   A full load of hungry and thirsty folk kept us busy for a couple of hours.  A final hour restocking the fridges and cleaning down cafe and kitchen and I finally got home at 845pm.    

So having started the day wondering of I had a car for work tonight, I eventually went up and down the valley twice and worked five hours more than expected.   Never a dull moment.   Fingers crossed it's a day off tomorrow .... oh and fingers crossed for the clock.
