I'm sure I'll find time to spend a little quality time with a model at some point over the duration of the show , Simon can watch the shop for a few hrs . To be honest its probably going to end up costing me a small fortune , unless we sell a couple of hundred prints , but I think in terms of exposure it could well be priceless and you have to aim high if you want to reach the top , I'm not afraid of putting in the hours or the investment ( when I have it ) because I have belief in the abilities of myself and Simon to make a proper go of it , we are getting quite well known now and have some impressive credits (imo) and even if it doesn't work out like I hope it's been great fun and I've met some fantastic people and made some good friends, the way I look at it I can't lose , except financially and thats never really bothered me

Undergoing a training course for our Logistics Information Technology System.

It's pretty boring. Manageable, but boring.

Then the antiquated system shuts down and saves precisely none of my previous 3 hours of work. No evidence to say I've done it, nothing.

It's going to be a long afternoon!

Trawling the web trying to find a house.

Can't find anything even close to what we need. And prices seem to have soared

Last night I finished off gear cleaning - jacket like new, and leathers are now washed, treated and protected, also look like new. I used the cleaning kit that came free with my dainese leathers some years ago, done a great job.

Next to tackle will be the bike :( later this week.

I didn't think people cleaned their kit.

I'm going to wait for spring to come before I wash my stuff.

To be honest if they were just a little grubby I would have been the same, but these were really muddy, even the ride from hell down the M4 did not shift it. Hence why I did the full clean up, "If a jobs worth doing, its worth doing well" ;)
