    Wake up early - just before 6 a.m. , but don't use the early hours wisely (watch morning TV while breakfasting etc.) Feed the animals - 1 dog and 3 cats and put them out for the day. Head off to work just after 8 a.m (after doing lunches for myself and hb). Work at a pre-school until just after 2 p.m. (if I leave on time) and head off home. Reduced my hours this year from full-time but seem to go on the net after work, instead of doing leadlighting, sewing or gardening! Need to lift my game there. Try to ride to work, but when the weather is not good, or if I have to do large shop etc. I weaken and drive. After cooking and consuming the evening meal I watch the dreaded TV. Love Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Something About Brian and Boston Legal. Oh, I do watch the more intellectual programs too, only if they don't clash with the previous mentioned ones!

    On the weekend I ride to the bakery for bread rolls and the newspaper (this is instead of getting the latter delivered), and then on for a more lengthy scenic ride home. This is followed by gardening and the usual necessary housework.

    Interested in recycling and renewable energy. Have solar hot water and looking into installing solar power in the near future.

    We don't have the last two you mentioned but the rest I enjoy also. And I'd like to add Dr House - I adore him

    This is an interesting thread...

    For the past couple of months...

    Week-days:

    5:45am get up
    On spin bike for 30-40mins
    Make school lunches, hang up washing, wash pots from last nights dinner, surf TE if time, wake kids up

    8am - Leave house
    Drop two boys at highschool
    Drop bikes at grandparents for boys to bike home

    8:45 - park car at work and say have a good day to son 3 who is doing a course at the tertiary institute I work at.

    Teach, visit students, mark assignments etc etc

    5pm
    Pick up boys school bags, run any errands in town like groceries

    6/6:30 arrive home
    Help finish cooking dinner, eat, cuddle with my youngest son, surf the net

    8:30ish watch movie or work on my assignment (I am completing a post-graduate qual)

    10:30-11, bath and bed.

    Weekends

    Usually up around 7am, surf the net

    Saturday racing at 2pm
    Sunday long recovery ride around 2 hours mid-dayish

    Weekends are spent catching up with washing, tidying house, doing my study, helping on the farm, playing Age of Empires, doing some baking if possible. I try not to bring work home...


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    hey

    During the week my schedule is like this:

    415am out of bed (I work at 630 tues,wed, fri), do the toilet stop, wash my face, get my cycling clothing on and out the door by 5am. Get to work, shower & have brekkie. I finish work at 3pm & i'm on my bike doing some sort of long ride by about 330pm(to cure the boredom from doing a pointless & useless job. Yes, i'm the process of finding a new one) Get home about 630pm and play with Yukon, make dinner (that's if it was Ian's turn the previous night) and then wander on the computer or read a book.

    Monday & Thursday-up at the same time but this time I leave at 5am to drive to the pool for our group swimming session. It's a 1/2hr drive from my house if yóu're wondering..

    I'm normally in bed by about 830pm.

    Weekends-they're now saved for moutain biking.

    I work 3 days per week (I'm a student) so half week is buisy and half is great

    ...my typical buisy day

    leave the home at 7am and I go to work... at 6 pm I'm back from work and I eat something quickly and go cycling with my friend. We ride till 8pm and than I play with my dog/clean the house/make the supper till 10pm when my darling comes home frome his afternoon shift and we spend some time together ant than go to sleep.

    ...my typical casual day

    I wake up at 8am and than I learn for about 2 hour, and after that I do housechores (is it spelled like that ) and after that I'm "playing" in the garden with my flowers and wegetables, and that relaxes me very much. Than I cook something delicious for my darling who works mornigshift so he's back at 5pm and than we enjoy the rest of the day mainly together.

    I watch tv only after 8pm when I lay back with my darling after supper and I'm too tired to do anything else. We mainly watch National geografic dokumentaries and we go to sleep at 11pm
