DAILY ROUTINES

The beginning of the day is pretty standard – I check the


answer phone and the fax for messages. And of course I check my
diary for the day. I make sure that everything, all my records and
things, are up to date. You have to get rid of the backlog before
starting the new day! But the rest of the day is much more chaotic, I
never really know what’s going to turn up. Sometimes I don’t have
any lunch at all.
I wake up at 5am every morning. I have a cup of coffee
and make breakfast. I go to my office at 6.30am. After I have
finished work, I go home to cook dinner. In my house I usually
make dinner. My family has dinner together at 7.30pm. Then, I
chill out on the sofa and watch television. The last things I do
are go to the bathroom to brush my teeth, turn off the lights,
and go to bed.
