Arrr, I live in the West Country- every day is talk like a pirate day! 😃 Today, I’m mostly experimenting with trying to put wire frames in felt models, thus making them poseable. It’s quite fiddly. ---

Howdy Y’all! I feel like I’ve walked the plank after bein’ keel hauled. I didn’t post this a.m. cause it was all I could do to force myself to purtify for irk. Betwixt ragweed and dust from the yankin’ of copious old files outta file cabinets I am miserable. ICK! However, I’s also hongry, thus beastloaf, steamd cabbage, stewed okra ‘n maters over rice (oh hush it’s nummy!) and cornbread for dindin. Beastloaf is bakin’ and the rest won’t take that long so there’s that. Hope you’re feelin’ better **StickyBuns** and anybody else who has the ick. ---

Home at last. It was actually a good day, if busy. I’ve given up trying to figure out the part-numbering system - I just draw then let Missy Prissy tell me what number goes on what drawing. \*\*FCD \*\*biked up to York, PA today to tour the Harley factory up there. No idea when he’ll get home - I asked him to call when he was en route so I’d know whether to make supper for 1 or 2. It’s looking like 1. Glad the week’s almost over. This working every day gets old. And I didn’t buy a lotto ticket so some cheese log in South Carolina had my jackpot. :mad: It’s so difficult being me. _\_ ---
