  @gretch I just think these pendants are wonderful. The possibilities are endless with clay. I haven't used air dried clay before but I can imagine that there would be a time limit to using the clay as you make each piece. Perhaps a marble slab as a working top can help keep the clay cool while working it and also provide a good cutting top. I'm looking forward to more creations of these beautiful objects....

  @donnamarie said in What Television programs do you enjoy watching when energy allows?: Yeah, they are great. I have seen some of the ones you mentioned - A place to call home, Downton Abbey, Outlander. I also watch, Poldark set back in England (Cornwall) in the 1800's early 1900's during the Spanish invasion with Ross who is both a squire and rebel! It is on ABC (channel 2 ) around 2.30 pm in South Australia. Worth a see! That is so funny that you mentioned Poldark! You know I was going to say it and I forgot at the time the name so I left it off... I have watched the old one and only the start of the recent one, I need to watch the rest of it.... keep forgetting

  @river I enjoyed dreamloops, thank you. All tracks but one hit the spot (#3 had a bit too much going on). One of my recent discoveries is Kate Rusby, a folk singer from Yorkshire with a very grounded adventurous streak. Most of her work is a bit livelier but her slow, almost metronomic renditions of traditional songs work on me like lullabies: Bogey's Bonnie Belle The Witch of the Westmorland Night Visiting Song Hunter Moon (an original composition of hers, metronomic but not quite as level as the others)

  The sprinkler and or a hose with a squirty gun on it and make sure that the water pots are kept full. The chooks and the budgies get a good cooling down with water. We also built the cages under trees for added shade in summer and wind protection in winter.

  @Daffy_Dave Good old C S Foresters' Horatio Hornblower series. Naval story ... I really got into it ... also loved the tv series. Today I bought a wholesome food book: nice hardcover, rural living feel and a flower arrangement book... not only do they look good just hanging around but they inspire me. The photography is awesome. I want to try out one of the recipes (plant based) if it works I will share it as my debut recipe for the food thread that started

  Love the 80’s but I also have problems listening to hard, loud music. Country is creeping in due to mellow sounds. Favourite songs/ bands: ABBA, Credence, Tracy Chapman, Jimmy Barnes, Midnight Oil and Deborah Harry....actually too many to list.

  Thanks River! Funnily enough all the men that we asked / voted across the different places we asked.. all went for the female picture! But yes totally understand your feedback. We ended up going with the lotus flower. Again totally agree with you! It is similar to the doodle flower but somehow it looked best on the whole page
