The sunshine has gone but I have the garden in order. I need to check the greenhouse every day and add water in needed. The sweet peas have germinated as has the coleus. And the garden is positively bursting at the edges - as are the local woods. This photo was taken by The Kennet and Avon Canal this morning.
Jerry being photogenic by the canal. Note the natty red harness. He goes crazy when he sees it in my hand. He knows that means we are going out.
I have been doing a lot of photography lately and thinking. I have decided that I am being too perfectionist. I have been reading a lot of books by high class photographers and comparing my photos with theirs to my disadvantage. And I suddenly realised that, of course, I do not compare with them. That is why I pay such a lot for their books. So I am cheered up. And I am off to North Norfolk next week to spend several days photographing everything. It is not a course, that is, it is a painting course for Dorothy and I am just a hanger-on. So expect photos of breaking waves.
Apart from that, I suddenly realised that I might have made a serious error in the current winding a new warp. I forgot to check on the number of heddles. And yes I was right to be worried. There are not enough heddles on Shafts 5 and 6. Some hard thinking. First thing to do to find out how many heddles I had on The Schacht. The answer is 150 on 1 and 2 and 100 on everything else. A re-arrangement of the repeats and the draft and everything was okay. And I have wound the first warp. I am splitting the warp into two because there are a lot of threads. I should be finished tomorrow.
