Muggins Here

Well, this was going to be a boring post. I was going to tell you all about how the snow had melted (something I'm sure you already knew). I was going to pepper the page with photos of wooden houses. (here's one, it's ours. Well, half of it.)
But, instead, I can tell you two interesting things! Well, perhaps not "interesting", but at least not completely boring.
Story number one. Chris doesn't want me to tell this one. We were on our way to the Co-op (Food Basics, Liz) to get bread and milk. The plan was that we'd get dinner at the Harvey's that's in that mall, then pick up the messages on the way back. It was not to be, however. I had the camera in my pocket, and I decided as we passed a park, that I should get a picture of Chris on one of the jungle gyms."Go Down the Chute!" I shouts. So without a care in the world, down he goes. SPLASH! The water goes everywhere. There was a wave about three feet high. Poor boy was soaked all the way from his waist to his feet. His mum took him home and sent him into the shower, while I went for the bread and milk. We still had a Harveys.

Story two isn't really a story. It's just a thing that we did one day. Saturday to be exact. Mike, one of the designers in my work, sent an e-mail round the office. He was planning on going to this little place called "Just Kiln Time". (sounds like "Just Killin' Time". Took me a while to catch on...).
This place sells little plaster models, you sit and paint them. Whenever you're done, you put the model on the counter. They give you a wee bit of paper with room for your name, phone number and a description of the piece. They put them into a kiln (or oven), and fire (or bake) them.
Sounded like fun, so we went along. They tell you that the paint colours change in the oven, and so they have tiles on the wall that are like colour swatches. It was good, but we don't have our items back yet. we pick them up on Tuesday. This is what they looked like when we left.
The teddy was Mel's, the Car was Chris', and I wanted a cuppa. I'll let you how they worked out soon.

see ye.
