I've had a non-blog day. MIL and wifey have a stall at a craft faire this Saturday, so I've been getting stuff ready.

But I realised something: I'm doing what I can, trying to get it right. In many other aspects of life, present and past, my motivation is/was desperately trying not to get it wrong. Totally opposite motivations.

Anyway, I still need to work on the cutting board.

Current #pyrography #WIP is my attempt at a chopping board design. I bought the board this time, but I hope not to have to do that often.

If I have the right sizes of #wood, then I'll use this as a template outline.

Encore un nouveau support exploré en parallèle (pendentifs).
Cette première série de cinq a pour thème : "Tablettes antiques".

Première pièce (1/5) inspirée de l'hymne hourrite n°06, la plus ancienne trace d'écriture musicale que nous avons pu retrouver (Cité d'Ougarit dans l'actuelle Syrie, datant d'environ 1400 ans avant JC).

Hey all,

Well we have a new bug/illness thing. It makes you feel quite sick when you're hungry, fatigues you without you doing anything, and my pain levels are sky high.

So I've not been up for 9hrs yet. My head was too sensitive for large screens, but I've progressed some smaller #woodwork items and... nope, that's about it.

Today, the day after my final autism assessment, I'm totally "out of it". I've felt checked-out most of the day, and pretty useless.

But I finished the restoration of our hedgehog-shaped cutting board and played with making a Highland Cow (Coo/Kuh) coaster and keyring. I need to look into wood stains and varnishes (for non-food-related items).

Glad I have some tactile things to do, because mentally I'm on another planet. And not in a good way. It's been intense recently.

Quatrième de la série du zodiaque, c'est bientôt l'automne ! (La partie de moi qui craint les canicules à venir chuchote : "Si seulement...")
