Dot, you seem to have no dull moments now that you have a friendly neighbour. xxxx
I am having issues with the phone and computer sharing photos at the moment, so sorry for not sharing with you.
The blob is looking much better now and after a few hours of tidying up the edges, I will return it to the house. The kiln was still cooling down at 10 am when we went to visit my chiropractor and was finished the kiln time when we returned at 1pm. I went down to the shed at 6pm to bring the blob out of the kiln, but it was still too hot to touch. The shed was way over the 40 degrees that it was outside, so the blob is still in the kiln. Once it has cooled to room temp, it will be safe for me to do the finishing, but I am not going down to the shed in 40 degree heat to work for several hours doing the sanding of the edges. It can wait.
Tonight we have a decent/wind breeze blowing, so maybe the temp will be friendlier tomorrow. My phone doesn't mention winds or cooling temps, maybe it's not getting updates from the weather mob who have probably gone to bed.
