kittiwakeI haven't done a Friday Five in a long time, so here goes:
1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings?
It depends, but at the moment my first alarm is set for 07:00 and the second for 07:15.
2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late?
I sleep in about one weekend morning in eight until about 11:00. The rest of the time I either set my alarm much earlier, or get up before it goes off. Normally I would get up between 08:00 and 09:00.
3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning?
Try to remember my dream, and if I'm successful I scribble it down. On weekdays I usually write my dreams up properly at lunchtime and e-mail them home to post in my LJ dream diary later (I haven't got Internet access at work). I've recently started meditating and if I have time, I find that meditating first thing in the morning puts me in a calm frame of mind to face the day.
4. How long does it take to get ready for your day?
Less than half an hour, even if I'm washing my hair, as it's so thick that I can't be bothered to to dry it. It's nearly always dry by the time I get to work, and you get an interesting crunchy effect on cold winter days when the water turns to ice crystals : )
5. When possible, what is your favorite place to go for breakfast?
This is a tough one, but I think I'll have to say Caffe Nero. They have good coffee, friendly staff and comfy seats, although I'm having to avoid their lovely warm croissants now I'm on the Atkins Diet : (
