late to bed, late to rise. We always watch 10 0'clock News- which are at 11 here - and often Newsnight afterwards.

Alarm goes at 8.15- OH gets up about 8.30 and brings me my cup of tea ... so I get up about 8.45 (ish)

I’m awake by 6 usually make a cuppa and watch the news in bed but I’m in the shower by 7:30 I’ve never been good with lying in bed.

I'm up at 6.30am, take my first lot of medication, potter about, browse GN and forget the time.grin

I just wish I could have a lie in sometimes. I'm always up and about by 6.30 am, although I've been retired for years. In fact, I knew that I must be coming down with a cold when I actually slept until 8 am!

I’m awake by 6.30am but go back to bed with a cup of tea until after 9.00am these days, in this dreich weather.

I am Still in bed having breakfast. Havnt been up before 9 and often later, for weeks now. I tell myself it’s winter and I am retired.

For the last month I haven't been well so my usual routine of going for a swim between 8 to 9 has been cancelled. It's quite nice to be able to stay in bed until after 9 and I have been spending the mornings reading the paper and watching tv. It will be hard to get back into my old routine.
