📝 Four more personal accounts in our series on different lifestyles

Colin Dobson: television and stage actor

Normally I get out of bed around midday. I'll sometimes go for a run after I get up, though it's not really my idea of tun. I'm not a fitness fan, but I realize it's important.

When I'm not rehearsing or on tour, afternoons usually involve reading scripts or learning lines. My wife and two sons are also actors, so at home there are usually scripts lying all over the place. It's a bit of a mess, l'm ashamed to say. I'm passionate about history, and if I'm working away from home, I spend the afternoons in museums or historic buildings. I always get to the theatre at the last minute, which annoys my co-actors, but I don't like arriving anywhere early.

After a performance I eat and spend a few hours unwinding, so bedtime is often two or three in the morning. I always fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Jodie Miller: potter

Before I started renting the workshop at the open-air museum, I would crawl out of bed in the morning, get dressed and go straight into the garage, which I'd converted into a studio. Now I get the train and a bus, so I have to get up early and my morning routine is dull and conventional, the same one that's played out in millions of households.

On the plus side, though, I get to meet lots of people: there are the museum visitors that come into the workshop every day to watch me working, the other craftspeople - the broom maker, the blacksmith or the glassblower - and I also give classes. Working at 30 home was a solitary business and I hated the fact that I would often go for days without speaking to anyone.

I get lots of requests for personalized mugs, and evenings are spent packaging up orders to send out the next day. I often get to bed later than I would like.
