Painting at Slap N Dash Ceramics


Today we did some painting. My wife saw that it would rain a lot today so booked a session painting ceramics.  We have done this on other holidays and have enjoyed it.  This time we painted dog bowls.  The kids want a dog and I think that they are hoping to break me down.  My wife appears to have her heart set on one particular breed.  I am more open to the different types of breeds, including mongrels.  


The lady in charge of the place arrived late as she was stuck behind a learner driver, but it was worth the wait.  Unlike other places, the tutorial before painting was much better and we also got to use stamps and stickers, something we never had the chance to use in the past.  I used stickers, as did my wife.  My son appeared to want to use them at first, but I am not sure what happened after that.  My daughter made use of a stamp.


Unlike before, when my creation was the worst by far, I would like to say that mine was best.  The rest of the family disagree with me, but we all agree that this was our best experience yet.  And we loved the previous ones.  In addition to the tutorial we got given helpful ideas and suggestions as well as advice how to make our creations better.  In other places, we were left to get on with it after the initial much briefer talks.



I had been for a walk in the wind and rain before we went, but despite my stomach getting bigger my wife did not want me to go for a walk when we got back.  Instead I played Among Us with the children and also Dobble.  My son was very pleased when he beat his sister and me.  Normally she wins which made his victory even sweeter.  


For those wondering about Twitter and me, I deleted the offending tweet when a neutral voice said that it was a bit suspect.  So I am back to tweeting, and reading stories behind the headlines.



Good night all!
