3BT 20/02/13 Lie in, Insults and Catch Up

• I slept until 11 this morning, and I finally feel like I've caught up on my sleep.
• While I am feeding Shaun his supper, he suddenly leans over to his brother and yells "Adam, banana head!"
• I visited Amy for dinner, it was nice to have a proper catch up, because last time I saw her, I was quite fluey and not feeling very sociable.

3BT 19/02/13 Spring, Nap and Lost

• I'm not convinced the weather is getting any warmer, but there are signs of spring appearing, so maybe it will be safe to venture outside without all my warm clothes soon.
• We have both been working very very long days recently, so after lunch we snuggle down for a nap.
• We finally watched the last few episodes of lost tonight. After 6 series I've got quite attached to the characters and it's a bit sad knowing I won't see them again, but every episode had such a cliff hanger ending, I'm quite glad I won't have to deal with the suspense if wondering what is going to happen next.

3BT 18/02/13 Finished, Checking and Day Off

• It feels good to finally finishing a picture I started about 3 years ago. It has been sitting in a folder, half done for all that time.
• Nick comes up to my studio to check on me every so often throughout the day. I don't need anything, but it's nice to remember there are other people here.
• I have set a deadline for myself to get a load of work done, and by the end of the day I have got 2 days ahead of myself, I might even let myself have a day off soon!!

Mini Pirates

I have finally finished my first "Mini Pirates" picture. I don't know why I did this one first, as it is almost the last one in the story, but it seemed like a fun one to get started on.
It is in a mixture of watercolours, markers and coloured pencils.

3BT 17/02/13 Productive, Organised and Narrator

• I had planned to carry on an oil painting this weekend, but at the last bit I did still isn't dry, I managed to finish another picture instead, and get started on another one.
• I also had time to draw out next years Christmas card, how organised am I today?!
• Starting a new audiobook and finding that it has the same narrator as one I have just finished, who I thought was particularly good.

3BT 16/02/13 Done, Experiment and Stopping

• Ticking off boring jobs from my to do list, so I can get on with painting mini pirates!
• An experimental bit on the the picture I have been working on all week works as I had hoped... Which is lucky!
• Stopping work at midnight, because I really think I've worked quite hard today and deserve a break now!

3BT 15/02/13 Off, Potatoes and Sharing

•To be told I can have Monday and Tuesday off work next week is very welcome, as I have lots to do.
•Whilst digging around in the freezer I find a box of roast potatoes left over from Christmas. I LOVE roast potatoes!!
•Nick turns the last bit of batter into a pancake for us to share.
