So I've got a we haven't got any heaths in so I've got to put The fire on that heats the whole house. I built the fire out of these wood briquettes instead of logs They don't take up that much space So every morning has been two hours on this. I think it's a good way to start the day It's 8 a.m. I just wanted to show you outside. The Sun's just come up It's the calm after a storm. So we just got storm bits everywhere, but check out the view It's 9 o'clock time to start work I'm gonna be working in the kitchen today because I've done all my morning work on the IMAQ gets a bit boring after a while So I've got my work laptop over there I'm just gonna enjoy the view of the mountain and I'll speak to you guys in a bit It's lunchtime. I've been on course all morning of work. It's been a busy morning I can't show you some of the work that I've been doing for my day job just out of respect to the client and professionalism but I'm getting some jobs done on the house getting some gates installed. So I'm gonna nip it to town and go and get some cash out I'll show you just a quick view of town and then I'm probably gonna try and go for a run and go up the mountain So I'll take you along with me Back from town mayhem road works gonna go for a jog now Just go for a quick run before I got to go back to work Finally at the top welcome to Wales down off the mountain Right lunch is done cup of tea back to work If you haven't checked it out, check out Google Analytics So Google Analytics you can install on any website and it basically tracks how people use your site and and The flow that they take through the site and there's a lot you can learn from it Just quickly one of the questions I get asked a lot I work from home remotely and all my team is based around the world and people go But actually when you've got chat solutions you've got Just collaboration online with different people you feel like you with them all day like ten years ago I couldn't have lived here in the middle of nowhere without the internet It's impossible, but now you know I'm collaborating with people in America people in Canada people all around the world on You know online chat messages like Slack sometimes you talk to them more than you do when you're actually in the office Back in the office for the last hour of the day get some peace and quiet the family downstairs So time to concentrate It's half five just finished for the day Shut the PC down now. I've got to go and build another fire keep us warm for the night And then get dinner and do the normal nighttime routine with a baby It's half six. It's time for playtime and then bath time with the baby Guys my last video of the day baby's asleep. It's half eight I've got some dishes to do some tidying But what I wanted to show you was the book that I'm reading at the moment It's called it's called the story of art and it's Apparently sold more than eight million copies. It's the most popular art book. It's fascinating I just wanted to show you a couple of things which I think is interesting as a designer. So this Man-eating demon with a bloodstained face mask. It's an amazing piece of art by Alaskan culture I was thinking about doing a vector version of it. It's quite cool There's so much you can learn by looking at art for our history. It's given me so much inspiration to design some posters And so have you look here? No, I've got the cat on me This I've actually been to this place. These are these are the earliest cave art of humans that they found and it's in a place Called Lascaux in France. It's well worth visiting and it's well worth looking at so you actually go into this cave and All the paintings are on the ceiling around, you know, there's some trippy trippy stuff in there It's all horses. I definitely think as a designer. It's good to know the history of art I love art. So I've got some you can see in this room Got some art deco standing on the wall along with pictures of the family. So I always like to keep that. So from me Mittens it's goodbye for today. Think about subscribing to YouTube channel I'm going to put a lot more content.
