It's like the plot for a Tom Cruise movie...A man who can pot, I say a great potter! He has a crisis of confidence and can not long pot, that's until he meets a woman...
You get the point, I'm massively sucking at the moment but wait, who's arriving on Friday??? A woman...my woman!
One mans journey to Denmark, his objective...to make pots. This is his story..Paul Reid

A bridge to...nice?
So we were off on a beer run, me, Matt and the Russian. Irina was telling us about the girls trip to a gallery and shes mentions that she owes Christina like 150 kronner for the bridge..."What?"
They had to pay to cross and return over a bridge, it works out like £50 which is out outrageous!
"...it's ok tho, it was a nice bridge"
"...so if it was a ugly bridge would you expect to pay less?"

Stupid alien hand syndrome

Lost in Translation?
In Denmark, the phenomenon knows as "cameltoe" is referred to as "mumbling pants". And in Japan it's "the boomerang"?

Days gone by...
...I had to take a few days to relax as the king was grinding me down and working me like a dog. So I caught up on some sleep.
I've been working on some mug forms to be ready for firing the wood kiln, which should be going on wed hopefully. Had a few pots out the soda kiln which was mainly work by a Danish potter. He was very pleased with his results. It was a very easy kiln to fire, my work was ok. I think the kiln was pack to tight so there wasn't enough soda and ash deposits on the work.
Weekend...hit up Cassiopeia, the only bar in town. We rocked the joint, the locals...lets just say there different and from what I can gather, there only just getting the 90's. It was a lot of freak deeky Danish people doing some very odd things.
3:00 get to bed...zzzzzzzzzz
Sunday Manchester United vs The Gunner 2-1 Whammy!
Monday; Cleaned the soda kiln, hit the outside gym with Matt, packed and fired a kiln, cooked a bad ass meal, thrown 10 mugs and now its time for the Karate Kid! Sweep the legs!
