Ode to my Boobs (re-edited and replaced)

Ode to my Boobs
Now men-folk, don’t come on all queer
Its time my boobs were mentioned here
But see, I’ll not talk coyly of my pillows of celestial love.
Mine are quite large there’s no escape
When I say ‘E’s, the sex-starved gape
But then they haven’t really seen
Quite what a size E breast can mean
When time and babes and joy and tears
Gives gravity some thirty years
To drag them down toward my waist
And swell then shrink them till I’m faced
With lumps of dough no seamstress’ skill
Can mould or capture or hold still
But still, they’re mine, though I’ll be blunt
I wish I could sleep on my front !

NEW posts added and some bits moved

I have just re-entered my older pottery pictures and put in a whole new load of pottery pictures, the old ones were mixed in with a different post, and I wanted to put a bit more detail in the posts, also having an entry per pot means the images and text don't get so out of control. Everything dated today is posts about pottery - there's about two and a half pages of pottery blog after this post.

I gave up trying to keep the pots in order - so they are a bit random.

tea-light cover


Playing around - this is a white earthenware coil pot, which then got savagely attacked by a knife and hole borer - it makes a nice tea-light cover.

It was a fill in pot near the end of term.

hedgehog in progress



A work in progress - he has been for quite some time - since last July I think. He's raku clay and lives on my sideboard.


I do not know what this is, I was playing around with the feel of pinch pots - its a sort of undersea monster fish squid thing - it feels just righ in your hand though - it kind of cuddles into my palm.


DTS pinch pot pig with oatmeal glaze, I think he has a lot of character.

big chunky coil pot

This is quite a large pot - about 10 inches tall, I made the opening so it's just large enough to get your hand into it, but if you have a first full of candy its rather harder to get it out again (evil aren't I)
Its made from black iron stoneware, with the red green glaze, then I dribbled extra red on the glaze, and painted the letters with the red glaze
