Well, in an effort to make more of

my days, I have decided to write do exactly what I do in a day for next few days. Boring reading but you never know it might just work: Anyway lets do it.

Wednesday 5th October

6.oo am alarm goes off for Gordon.

6.10 am Gordon get up and I go to put on coffee. On the way I let Zephyr out of her crate.

6.15 am return to bed very tired today

6.40 am Gordon comes back to bedroom and cleans his teeth. Bleary eyed I said ' have a good day and see you late tonight".

7.15. Had fallen off to sleep. Look at clock and think about getting up.

7.25 Angus starts barking, one of cats must be annoying him, probably Skara as Mo is in our bedroom. Decide to get up and have a coffee before getting dressed.

8.05 Take Emily to school.

8.15 I am back and on the PC.

9.15. Have breakfast as its an hour after taking my pills. Watch the 'Ellen show" for 15 mins until it time to get Alan up for school.

9.35 out walking the dog. At last the weather is getting cooler so I can walk Angus a little later than normal.

10.05 get back, hot and sweaty but enjoyed the walk and listening to my MP3 player. Have another coffee while watching the "View" until its time to take Alan to school.

10.45. Return from taking Alan to school. Write brief email. Look at a couple of websites

Iits now 11.25 so I had better stop this and get on with my day. Saving as draft until tomorrow.

My studio/laundry room.

time 12.25 pm. In Art/laundry room. Going to browse through my new books ' Inspire your creative spirit everday' by Dory Kanter and 'The art of polymer clay' by Donna Kato. Need to turn down sound on radio-too loud-listening to KUT.

12.55pm Whilst seaching for a sketch book came across a cheap frame I had bought for Alan. Decided to use it Searched my folder with recent work and found one sketch which fitted.

2.35. Well it time to go down stairs and do the diswasher and decide what we are having for dinner. In the past 1.5 hrs I created the first page of my roaming sketch/journal. For some reason I decided to do the background in black but as I was doing it I hated all the black. So I roughly scribbled in the black so I could add some colour on top. Now its not so depressing.
