Studio Saturday - the table by the window

Since the sudden clearing of the table by the window I've been enjoying sitting there first thing in the morning, sometimes to get on with a bit of woodcut
 ... and sometimes to sit and think and plan -
 ... and sometimes just to focus on the marks on the table (once a door), perchance to photograph them -



 This week I've sewn not just one pot -
 but several -
 Four small ones in a row, their documentation stowed within -
 ... and the fifth, ambitiously large, with some double-sided, woodblock-printed "envelopes", a project that has almost reached its end -
 A "bit of a cleanup" was thwarted by finding this old bit of calligraphy, from the early 2000s if not before -
In sum: the window-table is usable, the workbench is still piled high, a few pots are ready to dip ... but when will I get to the studio? All next week is spoken for, by the summer school at The Drawing Room, and the joys (horrors?) of getting there by tube in 30-degree temperatures.
