2. Never pack the kiln when overtired
3. Do as I say not as I do.

It could have been worse. So much worse. Note small, bottom kiln prop - front and centre. Note all other kiln props - not front and centre. I don't know what I was thinking! I'm not even particularly blonde anymore.
I arrived at work on Thursday keen as mustard to open the kiln door but the bottom lever was stuck with rust. (Amber is getting on in years but I still love her so.) Delightful Dan was kind enough to give me a helping hand, announcing "I get to do the honours" as he swung open the kiln door.
I think we swore in unison.
It was a cone 10 firing and that poor bottom shelf just couldn't stand the badly distributed weight.
But it must have cracked slowly because- wonder of wonders - the leaning tower didn't reach the kiln wall, meaning all elements and brickwork escaped unharmed.
AND... when I recovered enough to unpack I discover I had only lost one pot!
Sorry, but I just have to show you that again.

That was difinitely worth a photo!
I can't believe you only lost one piece....
Now I know why I only ever have one prop at back, two at front. I'm laughing so much! You made my day.
I'll bring you some bleach.
Worth sharing, Cheers Vicki
