Yesterday we came home!!! We went to the airport around ten in hopes of
getting on an earlier flight and were successful. I knit in the airport and
slept on the plane. Some surprise traffic on 376 but P was a champ. We’re
both exhausted. Travel sucks.

We went through the mail, did laundry, rescued the houseplants, and then I
sat in bed flipping through seed catalogs until dinner. P made a quick
grocery trip and picked up food for him from Babylon. After we ate, P drove
over to Braddock to pick up all our glazed work, and I pruned the pepper
plants. When he got back, we pulled everything out and went over it with a
strong light. Unfortunately tons of crazing casualties; the white liner
appears to be seriously temperamental, and some of my experiments including
the last-minute wipe of the shino from my small bowls didn’t work out.
We’re going to test the liner crazes with food coloring today to see if any
of it is salvageable since almost all P’s mugs were affected. Otherwise
stunning effects for the White Salt over Candace Black: satin metallic
gunmetal in some pieces and a delicate froth of snow over glossy black in
others.

It turns out P’s phone wanted its own pottery studio solo adventure, so
we’ll be going back today to fetch it.

Crossword and sleeps! My bed! My normal toothpaste! My pots! My spoons!
It’s so good to be home.
