Although I enjoy what we do, and every furniture piece is different, I long to something unique.
I miss the engineering and the design challenges of making a new piece. Not that we need any furniture apart from new seating in the house, but I need the time.
I should have all the time I need, but in reality, not having the strict working day restricts me.
I have my CAD software where I can design things in space, but I crave the freedom to create these designs in reality.
I still have the back garden to work on, and that should soak up any spare creative juices, and for now that may have to be what I focus on.
There was an interesting observation in the garden this morning, it looked like a scene from a Dali painting. The siding of the neighbouring property was all warped and distorted. We hadn’t noticed it the night before, so we were concerned that something may have happened during the night. We saw smoke coming from the side of the house, so all sorts of scenarios were going through our heads. It turned out that was coming from a grill, but anyway I walked round to check.
It turned out that they knew about it, apparently they were burning rubbish a bit too close to the wall and the heat melted the plastic.
Now that could be an expensive job, they will inquired if it could be covered on their insurance, good luck with that.
Today was a little cooler, not a tee shirt day, so back on with the flannel shirt.
We took pictures of the bench, a striking yellow against a grey backdrop, it’s not a masterpiece but it looked good.
