So now it's Friday *yay*
6.04 - Wake Up
Things we've learned today, I cannot mute my alarm more than four times.
6.15-7.40 - Walk Brandy
A nice long walk this morning, the new Pokemon go gyms are up so I made sure I fed berries to all the Pokemons and also spin the disks (I like this new feature).
Here is a nice shot of this morning's view
7.40-8.02 - Feed Pets
Opened up some windows and distracted the cat with food. The house is slowly becoming less stuffy!
8.02-8.16 - Exercises
I can do them all without checking the list now :p I do different ones each week, so it does take a few days for me to remember what on earth I'm doing!
8.16-8.37 - Running
A quick workout on the running machine before I start work for the morning. Listening to Green Day at the same time :p
08.37-09.01 - Bath
A quick bath before I start work for the day. Caesar enhanced it by using the litter tray just as I got in. Then he opened my study door and tried to jump out the window. Think maybe it is time for another cup of coffee!
09.01-09.10 - Daily Deal
Today's one is good! 50% off a Stablemate custom. Each deal is done randomly.
09.10-09.11 - Eventing Series
Throughout today I'll also be doing work on the 3 Day Event which is a postal show I run. Part of the fun is releasing results throughout the weekend and encouraging people to do a bit of RP in the Facebook group.
09.11-09.16 - Friday Fun
We do this every Friday on the Chestnut Ridge Facebook page. This week you need to find all the animals that have escaped over my bookshelf.
09.16-09.18 - Breakfast
I put some crumpets in the oven earlier, so now have them out whilst I do my emails!
09.18-09.24 - Emails
Emails and book keeping done for the day. Including saving photographs that have been entered into our Paint photoshow.
09.24-09.31 - Eventing Series
I try to do one thing every half an hour or everytime I finish a job. Dressage is pretty easy as it is literally just copy and pasting.
09.31-09.54 - Graphics
I try to add at least one new banner image each week. This week we managed three :) Even if I don't have time to do five new ones I will try and change them around regularly so the website looks updated on a regular basis.
09.54-09.57 - Eventing Series
You are going to realise how boring this is by the end of the day :p Another Eventing Series post.
09.57-12.33 - Work
Not a full shift today but had to go into the office to sort things out. I normally combine this with any shopping etc. that needs to be done, particularly if I have a live show that weekend.
12.33-12.36 - Eventing Series
BE90 is done and uploaded :)
12.36-12.53 - Clean Out Guinea Pigs
Boys are all cleaned out and happy. Gave them a nice big pile of hay which Phantom is now sat in.
12.53-12.55 - Eventing Series
These short posts are just the ones that go "up next is". Depending on how busy I am I often will do other posts as well saying things like "O know and so and so has fallen at the third fence".
12.55-12.59 - Packing Parcels
Only a couple today so I get them packed really quickly and ready to head off to the Post Office.
12.59-13.24 - Post Office
I may have also gone and taken a Pokemon gym :p
13.24-13.28 - Eventing Series
BE100 is now done :)
13.28-13.39 - Model of the Day
Today it is (appropriately considering the Pokemon theme of this day) CRS Air Slash aka Pidgeotto
13.39-13.41 - Instagram
A quick Instagram post because I'm aware that I haven't done one today. I will probably do more but if I reach a certain point and haven't done one I make sure I do!
13.41-13.46 - Reading
Head is feeling a bit fuzzy so I sit back and read a couple of pages of my book (The biography of Lord Reading in case you are curious). But alas one must carry on with the day!
13.46-14.07 - Lunch
Whilst eating I also register for one of those online business directory things. I generally sign up for as many free ones as possible.
14.07-14.28 - Newsletter
Still working on the news articles, nearly there! Quite a lot of focus on BreyerFest as this is June's edition.
14.28-14.31 - Website Update
I realised decent pictures of Man O' War are now available so update the website with a nice image.
14.31-14.34 - Eventing Series
Results for the BE Novice are now done.
14.34-14.51 - Orders
I spend some time working on a commission. It is a heavy sabino Clydesdale, he is given four layers of airbrushing to create the base colour. He will now need about a thousand layers of white to create the finished effect.
Sealant is drying on the airbrushing before I start the pencil work, this just makes sure I don't damage the base colour whilst handling her.
14.51-15.01 - Coffee and Idiots
As well as making a cup of coffee I also have to sort out idiots in Popular Votes Photoshows who have decided to like photos before judging opens.
15.01-15.13 - Orders
It is now time to do the white on the drafter. The first step is to block out using a pencil, I do some heavy hairing and also basically colouring in some parts (such as the legs). I do it a side at the time, putting sealant on in between.
15.13-15.15 - Eventing Series
Another quick eventing series post, onto the BE Intermediate.
15.15-15.31 - Magazine
Still on the news section, I'm doing some cool side banners featuring the new Spirit Riding Free range.
15.31-15.42 - Orders
Work on the other side of the drafter. Sealant is now drying and she has all her pencilling done. The next step is to airbrush some white on to create roaning across the whole body.
15.42-15.46 - Eventing Series
BE Intermediate is done, just one more BE set to do before we move onto the CCI.
15.46-16.00 - Magazine
My day is getting a bit repetitive by this point but these things needs to get done! The news is nearly finished, literally just one more article to finish and then I have to work out how to fill the random gap I have...
16.00-16.05 - Blog Posts
Four new BreyerFest models have been announced since I last blogged so I add these guys to the Blog :D
Look at this lovely glossy Vanilla:
16.05-16.06 - Eventing Series
Another quick eventing update before we move on to the magazine again!
16.06-16.46 - Magazine
All of the news is now done, but I do have about half a page that is currently blank. So we are going to have to think of a creative way to fill that! I was going to add a live show quote of the month but cannot for the life of me think of anything to add...
After a brief break I figured out how to fill the gap and finished off the latest news pages. I have also started writing the show report which is about Sycamore Stud Live. I always try and pick the most recent live show I attended and usually try and write it as soon as possible afterwards. My memory isn't the greatest, even with photos as reference!
16.46-16.51 - Eventing Series
BE Advanced are now done :D We are getting there slowly, just four more dressage sections to go.
16.51-17.25 - Painting
I do a layer of paint on each of the five horses in my current batch. I have also now realised that I am out of primer.
17.25-17.30 - Buying Primer
If you see you are nearly out of primer you should buy more primer!
17.30-17.45 - Studying
Spending a quarter of an hour doing a bit of studying for my BHS exams. Brain is basically mush by this point on a Friday but it is a bit of a break from painting to allow things to dry.
17.45-17.47 - Eventing
We are getting there slowly with the dressage.
17.47-18.20 - Painting
Yay I actually finished two horses! A mini whinnie and a little resin Saddlebred are now both complete. Two little resin Clydesdales are also looking good. I have also nearly finished priming a Julip foal.
18.20-18.24 - Eventing
CCI* is now done, which means just three more to do.
18.24-19.35 - Dinner
Tonight's dinner is "stuff what I found in the freezer curry"
At the same time we empty the dishwasher, do the washing up, fill up the water bowls, tidy the lounge and other general jobs that need doing.
19.35-19.48 - Live Show List
Starting work preparing for next weekend's live show by writing my own list. I'm really behind with this show as always.
19.48-19.51 - Eventing
CCI** is now done, just two more to go.
19.51-20.01 - Live Show List
List for Pretty in Pink is all written, now to just pack over the weekend (o and like actually make some tack sets)
20.01-20.14 - Eventing Series
Final dressage results are completed and uploaded.
20.14-20.26 - Graphics
I finish off the graphics I started earlier and update the website with five new banner images.
20.26-23.00 - TV & Balance Ball
I only fell off twice last night. So yay *go me*
23.00-23.15 - Feed Pets
It rained so no need to do the plants, animals are fed and put to bed.
