Pedalling Ironing Boards and Cracking up

No Art today I gave myself a day off. My OH suggested we went for a Bike Ride and would you believe he has been practising pedalling SLOWLY!! He has about a zillion more gears than me and I really enjoyed the ride it was a lovely day but I had to keep freewheeling as I didnt know which way we were going so he had to be in front.

On the way home he and his front wheel and saddle and suspension chose to cycle back along the canal path. I chose to skid as I avoided a pothole and he didnt even notice that I had fallen off.

I spent the afternoon with my ironing board. I have heard it strongly rumoured that some people use an Ironing Board to Iron Clothes I am suspicious of this because the only time I have found it necessary to get a crease out of anything it was a collar and I used my hair straighteners for that.

So what would I use an Ironing Board for well its a sort of multi level workbench.

• I have wrapped presents on it in the conservatory.
• I have set up a desk easel and painted on it.
• I have put it up in the shed and potted up plants on it
• I have built clay models on it

Today I put it up on the garden covered it with an old sheet and used paint stripper to remove old varnish from a garden seat I had taken apart.

Finally I am sad to say my latest clay cat has hairline cracks all over the place - blast it!!

Oh and Hello September!
