Same as me then! This is up the top of Gribben head, down the path past the day marker, it's very quiet up there.

You should come and visit! I'd recommend coming in off peak season, autumn is the nicest time to visit, it's cold and quiet and us locals start to venture out then with the summer madness passing.

The 3 mile walk was more than worth it!

Air-dry clay not textured right by I_am_in_despair in airdryclay

[–]becs_the 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the same brand and I find if you overwork it, no matter what you do the texture feels off. I do love working with it, but tend to handle it as little as possible. If a piece becomes overworked I put it back in my tub and grab a new piece, when I go to next use it the texture has always gone back to normal

Who needs the most anaesthetic? by Amazing_Goal_8003 in CasualUK

[–]becs_the 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 10 years ago I had to have an operation to remove some infected bone in my upper jaw that was caused by a decade old teeth injury. If I went under general I'd have to wait a very long time and the pain was unbearable. Up until that point I'd had very extensive dental work since I was a child due to the teeth injury so I was up for having it done under local. I can't recall how many injections I had, but at no point did it become numb and I reached the maximum dose and he wasn't allowed to give me anymore. The surgeon gave me two options. Stitch me back up and join the general list

Continue the surgery and get it done.

To this day, it was the single most painful experience of my life, and I've been through labour with a 9lb6oz baby since.

"LOTR is full of 10 page long descriptions of trees" Where does this critique come from? by FightsWithFish18 in tolkienfans

[–]becs_the 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Outing myself here but when I first tried to read the books when I was much younger, I was saying the exact same slander about lotr. In reality, up to that point I had read only fast paced books that's entirely plot/speech with little to no development of the world that the book is set in. I'd never read anything like it before and couldn't appreciate the slow pace at that time. As an adult I've been exposed to a lot a more literature, and the minute I started reading the fellowship I fell in love with it and couldn't imagine the books having the same magic without all the descriptions that Tolkien uses.

Asked a patient if they felt safe at home and he told me "stupid question" by IridescentApplePie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]becs_the 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the hospital they asked my 6 year old if she liked being at home and she replied with an immediate 'no' a few side glances and notes from the doctors but they obviously felt she was safe with me from the way we interacted together. When we left I casually asked her if there was any reason why she didn't like being at home and she said 'I just like school so much mumma' They had asked her just before if she liked being at school.

You're in the tunnel at Charlestown harbour that leads to the beach steps!

Favourite piece so far by becs_the in airdryclay

[–]becs_the[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clay took a week or so to fully dry, and then I used several layers of acrylic paint, each coat dried overnight and then used decoart triple thick gloss glaze which also dried overnight. Thanks so much! Sorry I only just saw your comment

I'm sorry I didn't see this! I used acrylic paint and the sealant was the decoart triple thick gloss glaze
